Like to sink your teeth into a hearty beef sandwich? For robust flavor, add a tangy horseradish spread, flavored with nourishing canned beets. Topped off with savory onions, crisp lettuce and canned, sliced mushrooms, this is a classic in the making.

1/2 cup canned beets, drained and minced
2 to 4 tablespoons horseradish
8 slices crusty ciabatta bread or 4 crusty rolls
8 ounces lean, sliced beef
1/2 cup sliced red onion
1 can (4 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained*
2 cups shredded leaf lettuce

*If desired, sauté in a tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a non-stick pan before adding to sandwich.

In a small bowl combine beets and horseradish to make spread; blend well. To assemble sandwich, spread beet-horseradish mixture on one side of 4 slices of bread. Arrange beef, onion, mushrooms and lettuce on top. Top with remaining slices of bread.
