"Previously titled "Philly Firecrackers" - I didn't give them that name, that was the title given by Southern Living. That being said, I hope you enjoy these portable roll-ups as part of your Fourth of July Celebration or your next picnic! So delicious!!! from Southern Living Plan ahead -- Cooking time is chilling time."

Good sandwich, but I have lived in Philly for 50 years and have never heard of this sandwich. I doubt it is a Philly thing at all.

i agree with Papa Deuce. I am from the Philadelphia area and have lived there most of my life. . Maybe it should be renamed to a Roast Beef Firecracker. This sandwich is something I have not even heard of in the Philadelphia area. That being said, it looks like a delicious sandwich and one that I would really enjoy eating. My pet peeve is that everyone is calling something a Philly and most of these thingst are not even vaguely Philly.

Kitty, you must know what's in my fridge! My hubby brought home some rare roast beef thinly sliced from the store yesterday, and I had all the rest! Easy as it could be and those flavors! Thanks for posting Kitty!
