1 1/2 pound(s) cooked roast beef (about 6 thick slices)
1 pound(s) ground round (optional)
1/3 cup(s) worcestershire sauce (more if desired)
2-3 teaspoon(s) garlic powder(good quality) not garlic salt
1 tablespoon(s) steak seasoning (similiar to montreal)
2 large green bell peppers, cut into thick strips
2 large onions, sliced into thick rings and seperated
1 large red bell pepper cut into thick strips
8 ounce(s) fresh sliced mushrooms
2 1/2 tablespoon(s) extra virgin olive oil (or canola or vegetable oil)
2 slice(s) provolone cheese cut in half for each sandwich
1 slice(s) pepper jack cheese cut in half for each sandwich
2-3 tablespoon(s) cheese whiz for each sandwich
5-6 - 12 inch kaiser buns for each sandwich (may use smaller buns if desired)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Just to melt cheese on sandwiches after they are made if desired. Toast bread if desired Optional. These are the 12 inch buns we used. The smaller ones will work fine also, I just cut one into a third for myself, hubby ate 2 of them.
Wash veggies(except mushrooms) and cut into desired pieces.
Cut Roast Beef slices into thirds before putting into food processor for easier processing.
Add sliced roast beef to food processor, and pulse until desired consistency is reached. I pulsed about 6 or 7 times.
I also added 1 pound of Ground Round to make sure I had enough. It depends on how many you are serving, & if they are hearty eaters.
Heat olive oil in large skillet then add in the veggies and ground round, cook until veggies are tender crisp or as desired & beef is no longer pink. Add in the spices and Worcestershire sauce, and stir to blend together.
Add the processed roast beef from the food processor to the skillet. Taste and add additional spices if desired.
Cut the buns with a serrated knife. Then cut the cheese slices in half and add half on the bottom of roll and the remainder on top after adding the beef to the rolls. Top each bun with 2-3 tablespoons of Cheese Whiz.
Place sandwiches in preheated 350 degree F. oven just long enough to melt the cheeses. CAN USE BROILER BUT WATCH VERY CLOSELY TO PREVENT BURNING. Then remove and serve while hot.
