Instructions
Preheat oven to 325F.
Remove rolls from packages. (Do not separate rolls.) Cut rolls in half horizontally, creating 1 top and 1 bottom per package. Spread preserves on bottom side of rolls (1/3 cup per package); sprinkle with pecans (1/4 cup per package). Top with cheese slices followed with roast beef.
Mix together the mustard and mayo. Spread the mustard-mayonnaise mixture on the top side of rolls; top with roast beef and cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, if desired. Place the top of rolls on the other halves with the beef, and wrap sandwiches in aluminum foil.
Bake for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted. Slice into individual sandwiches. Serve immediately. Serves 12.
