I found this recipe on a blog recently and made it for Super Bowl Sunday. It was so outstanding I thought that some of you might want to try it. It starts with a cheap cut of beef. This is a bottom round. Put it in a heavy pot.
Slice a couple of large onions and spread them around the beef.
Pour in two cans of beef consume'.
Add one 16 oz. can of
pepperocinis along with half of their juice. This adds a real tang to the sauce.
Sprinkle liberally with Italian seasoning. I used about 5 tablespoons. If your Italian seasoning contains salt, cut back on the added salt accordingly.
Cover the pot and place it in a 250 degree oven for 5-6 hours. Don't even bother checking on it.
Oops...I forgot a step. You can see I decided to add a bunch of fresh garlic cloves. I was feeling a bit frisky.
After 5 hours remove it from the oven. It smells
sooooo good.
You should be able to shred it easily with two forks. If it doesn't shred, put it back in the oven for an additional 30 minutes. It is done when the meat falls apart.
While the meat is cooking, make some garlic butter buns. Just combine softened butter with chopped garlic, fresh parsley, salt and pepper and spread it on your choice of buns. Broil until the edges turn golden brown.
To prepare the sandwich, lay out the garlic butter buns.
Pile on the heavenly shredded meat along with some of the onions, garlic and
pepperocinis. You can see the steam pouring out of the meat.
Cover with a few pieces of provolone cheese and broil until melted.
Serve it with a small bowl of the juice for dipping. I can not begin to tell you how scrumptious these are. Everyone across the board
devoured these. The roast cost me about 6.00. This recipe made about 15 sandwiches.
*** I am on the road tomorrow...heading towards snow country. Perhaps now you can appreciate my complete insanity! I bet I have more snow than Skaneateles! I am justifying the trip because of my need for more maple syrup. I am down to my last 1/2 gallon. I will take lots of pictures.

I just made this for the first time and it is a definite keeper. Wrap pork tenderloins with bacon. Using a sharp knife, poke slashes all over them. Lay them in a baking dish. In a bowl, mix 3/4 cup soy sauce with 3/4 cup of brown sugar, a diced large onion, garlic powder and some pepper. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and then bake them in a 300 degree oven for two hours. This is a correct time and temperature. Believe me, I wouldn't lie to you!
While the pork is cooking, make the potatoes. Melt a stick of butter in a pan. Saute' one large minced onion in the butter. Add 8 tablespoons of flour and whisk and cook for a couple minutes. Gradually pour in about 4 cups of whole milk whisking until thickened.
Add freshly cracked black pepper.
Add an assortment of diced herbs. I added parsley, rosemary, chives and thyme.
Butter a baking dish.
Shred some cheese. I used Gruyere.
Thinly slice 8 large potatoes.
Place the potatoes in the baking dish.
Sprinkle cheese between the layers.
Pour the herb sauce over the potatoes.
Shred some additional cheese.
Sprinkle it over the top. Place the potatoes in a 350 degree oven for about 1 1/2 hours until golden and bubbling around the edges.
This is what the pork looks like when it is done cooking.
And here are the potatoes.
The pork is so tender you can cut it with a fork. The potatoes are creamy and delicious. Yum!
