November - Beef Dip Sandwiches

Okay Ladies -
This month is CRAZY for me with the play - and that we are meeting the day of our Opening night. ;)  So I will be making Beef Dip Sandwiches.  Also, I hope to have my cookies done by then also - but I may have to delivery those to each of you later in the month.

Best Ever Beef Dip Sandwiches
recipe from AllRecipes

4 pounds beef chuck roast

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon dried rosemary

3 bay leaves

1 cup soy sauce

6 cups water

Place roast in slow cooker. Season with garlic, rosemary, and bay leaves. Pour in soy sauce and water. Cook on low setting for 6 to 10 hours. Unlike most roasts, the longer the better. 

To serve, place in hamburger buns or split french bread and top with your preferred cheese if desired. Feel free to dip your sandwich in the au jus left in the slow cooker too!

* To make ahead/freezer meal - Place all the ingredients except the water into a gallon sized freezer storage bag; seal and freeze. When ready to prepare, defrost completely. Place contents into your slow cooker and add 6 cups of water. Cook on low setting for 6 to 10 hours. Unlike most roasts, the longer the better.

Thanks! Jackie

October - Meatloaf

I'll be doing meatloaf for this month, here's a link to the recipe:

http://jamiecooksitup.net/2011/03/grandpa-marks-meatloaf/

I modified it after our family tried it though, here's what I did:


The Loaf:
2 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped  (I chopped in my blender so most of it was small)
2 sleeves saltine crackers, crushed into tiny pieces
4 eggs
2 T honey mustard
1/2 C ketchup
1 t Worcestershire


The Sauce:
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 C ketchup

Mix the sauce ingredients together and spread over the bottom of the pan.

Combine all the loaf ingredients in a big bowl, mix well with spoon or hands, or both!  Take half of the meat and shape into loaf, place in pan, then shape the remaining into 2nd loaf.  Should go side by side in a 13x9 pan.  Scoop some of the sauce from around the loaves and rub over the sides and top of loaf.

Cook at 375° for 45-55 minutes, or until meat is no longer pink.

Let rest for about 5 minutes after its done cooking before slicing.

Beef Stroganoff

Ok... I finally decided on what to make for our freezer meal exchange.  Beef Stroganoff  is what I will be making.  I need to know which of you wants/likes mushrooms.  I can leave them out if that is not something your family likes.  Let me know!  Thanks!  Tara
