Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. (James 1:17)

Super Roast Beef Subs

1 (1-oz.) envelope onion soup mix
1 T. all-purpose flour
1 t. ground cumin
½ t. chili powder
1 cup water
1 cup chunky salsa
2 (16-oz.) Italian bread loaves

Combine first 4 ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in 1 cup water; cover with plastic wrap, folding  back a corner to allow steam to escape. Microwave at HIGH 4 to 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring once. Stir in salsa. SLICE off top one-third of each bread loaf lengthwise; hollow out bottoms of loaves, leaving 1” thick shells. Place 1 cup lettuce in bottom of each shell. Layer each with half of roast beef, half of salsa mixture, and remaining roast beef. Sprinkle with tomato and cheese; spread with remaining salsa mixture, and sprinkle with remaining lettuce. COVER with bread tops, and press down lightly. If desired, wrap in plastic wrap and chill. Makes 8-10 servings.
