Sprinkle 1 ½ to 2 pounds of top round beef roast with meat tenderizer or salt and pat the seasoning into the meat.

Place the meat in a slow cooker for about 6 to 8 hours, depending on the size of your roast.

If the roast beef appears to be done, turn off the slow cooker and let the roast sit in its juices until ready to prepare the sandwiches.

About ½ hour before preparing the sandwiches, start making the whipped potatoes.

When ready to make sandwiches, remove the cooked top round roast from the slow cooker and place it on a platter.

Slice the roast into thin slices (about ¼-inch to 3/8-inch).

Use the juices left in the slow cooker to make rich roast beef gravy.

Toast 2 slices of whole grain bread for each sandwich.

On a serving plate, place one slice of toast and put a few thin slices of roast beef on top.

Cover with the second piece of toast, forming a sandwich.

Slice the sandwich down the middle into two halves.

Spread the halves apart and place a generous serving of whipped potatoes between them.

Drizzle a generous amount of gravy over the two sandwich halves and the whipped potatoes.
