Step 1
Start by turning on your oven’s broiler and moving the rack so it’s about 6 inches from the heat. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together the sauerkraut, mustard, barbecue sauce, and hot pepper sauce. Heat it in the microwave on high for about 3 minutes, until it’s bubbly and a bit thickened. While that’s warming up, lay the bread slices out on a baking sheet. Pile on the roast beef, then spoon the sauerkraut mixture over the top. Add a slice of cheese on each one. Pop the sandwiches under the broiler and watch them closely—cook until the edges of the bread are a little charred and the cheese is melted and bubbly, which should take around 3 minutes. Enjoy them hot!
