Scraped Beef Sandwiches

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the beef as you would for beef balls.

  2. Spread the beef very thinly between slices of bread, which can be buttered or not.

  3. Cut the sandwiches into small pieces.

  4. For adults, you may slightly toast the sandwiches without cooking the meat.
