At the beginning of the month, I listed off a few things we would be featuring this month. That list included Tailgating Extravaganza.
While we had previously discussed the idea, we hadn’t done it in enough detail.
We’re really not tail-gaters, I mean really we have kids…enough said.
So we’ve changed the title of the series – Game Day. Recipes for food that you can enjoy while hosting or attending a football party with friends, or all by yourself – if you like to watch in peace and quiet.
First up is this great recipe for Italian Beef Sandwiches. So delicious, this will be a hit at the next big game!
A good friend of mine always takes care of this one…she’s pictured above. I love her dearly and cherish her always.
This is one of those just-a-few-ingredients recipes, there is one star of the show…an entire jar of peperoncini peppers – juice and all.
1 3-4 lb. BEEF RUMP OR CHUCK ROAST
1 jar PEPERONCINI PEPPERS
SALT & PEPPER
1 Tablespoon ITALIAN SEASONING
1 cup BEEF BROTH or WATER (Edited to add: I would use up to 3 cups of water or broth to have enough dipping juice for everyone!)
Place roast in crock pot. Season both sides liberally with salt and pepper.
Add Italian Seasoning, broth and the whole jar of peppers including the juice.
Put a lid on crock pot and cook on low 8-10 hours. Leave it alone (no peeking!)
When roast is tender, shred meat.
To serve, toast or broil buns until crisp. Top with a slice of cheese (we used provolone, mozzarella works well too) and pile on the meat. Add a pepper if you like, serve with the juices from the crock pot for dipping.
Tender meat, gooey cheese, savory juice for dipping – YUM! Give yourself a high five…you just SCORED!
Hi Becca…just curious what type of beef roast you used?
Thanks!
Megan,
I believe it’s usually called Rump Roast. You could also use Chuck Roast. We get beef from my in-laws farm so what I have in my freezer just says Beef Boneless/Rolled Roast – not exactly the way you see it in the store – but it works great!
Thank you! I’ll definitely be trying this out this week…my husband will LOVE it
I made this for my family and friends this past weekend for a LIONS game, it turned out excellent. My husband said “I would eat this every Sunday.
I love this recipe!!! Jon’s sister does it with deer meat, and it’s just as amazing as beef! Even the kiddos liked it =D
This is yet another new favorite around my house-my husband is so thankful for your blog 🙂 We buy day old bread from Jimmy Johns to use. It is SO cheap and delicious-not stale like you might think. 2 big loaves cost under $1
I’ve seen a similar recipe using only the peperoncini (no additional seasonings.) I actually made the dish for Sunday lunch (although I accidentally bought banana peppers! It was still very good, but I like the additional seasonings you’ve listed. Will definitely have to try this!
