Red Patience 9-Patch

 

I’ve been experimenting lately with slow cooker meals. We tried this one last week. I’d call it a success, though it was a bit more work than I usually associate with my Crock-Pot.

 

Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches

 

1 pound chuck or pot roast

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, sliced

1 10.5 ounce can beef broth or French onion soup

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 bell pepper, sliced

4 slices provolone

4 hoagie buns

 

Salt and pepper beef to taste. Brown all sides in oil. Deglaze pan with soup. Add both to slow cooker with onion, soy sauce, and garlic. Cook on low 8 hours. An hour before dinner, shred beef and return to slow cooker. Add peppers. Open and toast buns. Load with meat/pepper/onion mixture and top with cheese. Broil until bubbly and golden-brown. We had ours with butternut squash and green beans, but it might have been nice with chips and a green salad.
