The po-boy sandwich is a classic New Orleans dish that has been enjoyed for over a century. The name "po-boy" is said to come from the term "poor boy", as the sandwich was originally popularized as a cheap, filling meal for working-class people. Roast beef po-boys are one of the most popular variations of this sandwich, and they are typically made with slow-cooked beef, gravy, and toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. This recipe adds some additional flavor with the addition of Creole seasoning and horseradish. Serve these sandwiches with some homemade sweet potato fries or a side salad for a satisfying and tasty meal.

12.Remove the beef from the pot and shred it with a fork.
13.Cut the French bread or baguette into 8-10 inch sections, then split each section lengthwise.
14.Spread mayonnaise and horseradish on the bread, then layer on the shredded beef, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles.
