Nadine Kelley's Barbecued Beef on Buns

from the McCalls Cookbook, c1963

Nadine would wrap up some of these sandwiches in foil and freeze them. Then she would pop them frozen into a 350 degree oven and heat until warm.

1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon charcoal seasoning
1 can (8-ounce) tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups silvered cooked roast beef or pot roast
8 hamburger buns, split, toasted, and buttered

In hot butter in medium skillet, saute onion until golden--about 5 mintues.

Add chili powder, charcoal seasoning, tomato sauce, and salt, mixing well; simmer covered, 10 minutes.

Add roast beef; simmer 5 mintues longer.

Place about 1/2 cup roast-beef mixture on bottom halves of hamburger buns; top with other halves. Serve hot.
