Philly Cheese Steak Subs

Recipe for the Best Philly Cheese Steak You Will Ever Have...

Servings: 3-4 (with leftovers)
Time: 30-45 minutes

Ingredients:
1 loaf of french bread
4-5 tbsp of Secret Sauce* (recipe below)
1 lb top round roast beef (from the deli, sliced)
.5 lb havarti cheese (we use the jalapeno havarti)
1 green bell pepper (sliced)
1 yellow bell pepper (sliced)
1 red bell pepper (sliced)
Pickled jalapenos (2-3 tablespoonfuls)
2 onion (sliced)
1 large container of sliced mushrooms (baby bella or white)
Dale's seasoning (4-6 splashes)
Salt & pepper
Olive oil/butter

Steps:
1. Over medium heat, heat up the olive oil/butter in a large pan and saute peppers and onions until onions are somewhat translucent. Then add mushrooms and a splash or two of Dale's seasoning. Cook for another 2-4 minutes until the mushrooms are partially cooked. Once done, drain the veggies and set aside. 

2. Chop the roast beef slices into strips and break apart. Heat another tablespoon of olive oil in the same pan, add the roast beef and cook until mostly browned. Add a splash or two of Dale's seasoning.

3. Mix the vegetables into the beef, add jalapenos and season with salt and pepper. (Taste; if you'd like you can add another splash of dales if the mixture seems too dry, or not flavorful enough). 

4. Spread the mixture evenly throughout the pan and top with one layer of havarti cheese. You may cover the pan to speed up the melting. 

5. Lightly toast your french bread (cut lengthwise, in half) in the oven, 350 degrees F, for about 5-7 minutes, open faced. 

6. Spread each side of the bread with the Secret Sauce and top with the Philly mixture. 

Secret Sauce: 
2 parts mayonnaise, 1 part yellow mustard, 1 part spicy mustard (you can use: jalapeno mustard, habanero mustard, dijon, spicy brown mustard....anything will work). 

Mix the three ingredients together.






Enjoy!

***If you do not eat beef, you can make this recipe using turkey/chicken and it will taste just as good, if not better!

Slow Cooked Pulled Chicken Dinner


Pulled BBQ Chicken, Light Cole Slaw, 5 Bean Salad & Corn


My first attempt to "slow cook" anything in a crockpot turned out to be a huge success!
I found a few simple pulled chicken recipes, shared with Trey, and we decided on one...and I went with it!

The prep and starting the crockpot was quite a scene; all done within 20 minutes on my lunch break! The sides were all prepped with a glass of red in hand AFTER work!

The Chicken
I followed this recipe very closely. Tobasco sauce was the only ingredient I subbed out with Stubb's Wing Sauce (this was a new buy, thanks to Tim, and I was just really excited to use it; plus it was very spicy, in a peppery way!). 
A few reviews of this recipe say how the sauce may get watery. This is true when you begin the shredding...however, if you let it sit on the warm setting and stir every 10-15 minutes, it will eventually be absorbed by the chicken.

The Slaw
1 Bag of shredded cabbage
Greek Yogurt - 2 tbs 
Mayo - 1 tbs (generous)
Sugar - 2 tspn (flat)
Apple cider vinegar - 2 tbs
Cumin - 1/2 tspn
Salt/Pepper - to taste

Mix the above, cool and serve

Delicious, light, crispy! Much better than a store bought/traditional wet, soggy, mayonaissy cole slaw.

5 Bean Salad
Big Bill says I should get Pam's recipe ;)
Yes, it was still good, actually very good.
I used a quarter of the sugar this recipe calls for and omitted the green pepper.

Corn
Boiled :)

Feast
We prepared our toasted rolls open faced; one topped with slaw and the other topped with JALAPENOS. 
All in all, we were all very satisfied, even the Carolina boys! I was blown away, so goooooooooooooood!
