I am a huge fan of beef and cheddar sandwiches.  In my early years of college I had a roommate that made them constantly and I had no problems eating them constantly in turn.  For the last few years I have been wanting to make up my own beef and cheddar sandwich.  I just never new where to start.  I mean really how many ways can you make a beef and cheddar sandwich?  You have a bun, roast beef and cheddar sauce...  it is not rocket science!  So I pondered for a while what is my favorite part of a beef and cheddar, then it hit me the sauce, I love the sweet BBQ sauce you have with them.  It was then I decided my beef and cheddar would focus on the BBQ sauce.  I also love making special BBQ sauces for meals and I have to say that did sway my thinking.  Another important aspect of the Beef and Cheddar is the cheese sauce or cheese you use.  I really like the consistency of my beef and Cheddars to be all about the meat.  That is why I tend to use a cheese sauce not just slices of cheese.  I took both of these basic concepts about the classic beef and cheddar and made Frank's Beef N Chedda, I do hope you enjoy!

1 lb Roast beef
4 oz whole white mushrooms
1/2 cup yellow onion (Juliane then halved)
