Hot Roast Beef Party Sandwiches (Make Ahead Freezer Option) Recipe

"A KC favorite! Purchase the packages with the pan rolls attached together and do not separate the rolls To make ahead; prepare as directed but omit oven warming, freeze up to 6 weeks, thaw in refrigerator overnight and then warm in oven as directed. I can't remember how many sandwiches I got from this, if my memory serves me correct I think it was 24 rolls per package I can't be 100% sure though, if that is correct then you will get 48 sandwiches "
