Cheesy BBQ Beef Sandwiches

This is the last recipe I wanted to try from the Kraft Food & Family.  This one sounded good and easy.  And you have to fry onions and green peppers, which I always enjoy.  It makes me feel like I could work at the fair, you know how they always have those people in the big yellow and white tent that fry onions and peppers to put on cheesesteaks?  That could totally be me.

Cheesy BBQ Beef Sandwiches
1 tbsp oil
1/2 cup thin onion slices
1/2 cup chopped green peppers
1 pkg (7 oz) roast beef, chopped (in the lunch meat section)
1/3 cup barbecue sauce
4 kaiser rolls, split
4 slices Colby/Jack cheese

Heat oil in large skillet on medium high heat.  Add vegetables; cook 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.  Remove from skillet; set aside.  Add meat and barbecue sauce to same skillet; cook on med heat 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.  Spoon mixture onto bottom halves of rolls; top with cheese and vegetables.  Microwave on high 30 seconds to melt the cheese (I didn't do this, my cheese melted by itself).  Cover sandwiches with top halves of rolls.

We had this with french fries baked in the oven, which always makes me remember school lunches.  But in a good way.  These were very very good, and easy to throw together after church.  Emma had her meat on the side with no vegetables.  Nathan didn't have any of this at all.  But the rest of us really liked these.  The only thing is that it barely served the 4 of us.  Emma didn't even have a whole sandwich-sized portion.  So if you want to make this, and perhaps you should, you should double it if you have more than 3 people (if they're grown ups or big eaters).  Yum yum yum.
