It is once again a cold gloomy day. It is snowing again. This dreary day does have redeeming qualities, though, it is wild-card Saturday, which means football playoff season has begun. I am excited because it means the Super Bowl is right around the corner. The rest of my family is excited because it means the football season is almost over. I have a round steak simmering in my crock pot for sandwiches and I have homemade bread dough thawing on my counter for rolls.
When the dough thaws, I will pull off egg sized pieces, roll and let rise again, brush with an egg wash and bake at 350 till golden brown. These will be the basis for my sandwiches.
The beef has been seasoned with a packet of Italian salad dressing mix, a cup of fat free Italian salad dressing, 1/2 cup of sliced pepperoncini peppers (and juice), and a can of beef broth and will simmer on high for 6 - 8 hours. Remove the meat and shred it, strain the solids from the broth and return the meat to the crock pot with enough broth to just keep moist.
Slice your rolls, (store bought hoagie rolls work well, too, I just don't have any) top with beef, mayo, cheese (I like provolone or mozzarella), pepperoncini slices, whatever sound good and enjoy. I will serve these as an entree, with finger foods to enjoy during the games.
Happy Saturday!
