Spicy Italian Beef Sandwiches

3 lbs. Top round sirloin roast
3 Bell peppers diced, (1 green, 1 yellow, 1 red)
1 medium sweet onion, diced
2 fresh jalapenos, diced (according to taste)
2 Tablespoons Shirley J Pizza Spice
2 Tablespoons Shirley J Beef Broth
2 Tablespoons Shirley J. Onion Seasoning
1 cup water
Salt and pepper to taste


Soft rolls or buns
Provolone cheese

Directions:
Place first 9 ingredients in a crock pot.
Add water to make a broth in the crock pot and turn on Hi for 1 hour and then on low for 10 hours. With 2 forks shred meat.
Place a serving on the roll, top it with cheese and melt a bit. I added extra peppers and jalapenos to make it look more colorful.

We actually put the meat on the grill to warm it, moistening with a little water, if needed, placed the cheese on top and let it melt, then added whatever veggies people preferred. (This picture shows peppers, onions and mushrooms.)

They were a huge hit and very tasty.
The key is knowing that you must cook your meat the day before as it takes so long. You can even freeze it if you want and thaw the day of your party.
This sandwich is to be served piping hot.

Macey's has a great sandwich, "Italian Beef Sandwiches" and I wanted to modify it, using Shirley J Products. If you like the "Italian Place" you will love this sandwich.

Beef Stew

Soup Base:
4 cups water (or fill your crock pot 1/2 way with water)
1 can cream of celery soup
1 can cream of tomato soup
1 small can tomato sauce
1 Tablespoon Shirley J Beef Bullion
2 Tablespoons Shirley J onion seasoning
1/3 cup Shirley J Universal sauce
Spices: bay leaf, pepper, basil

Root vegetables:
Celery
Onion, diced
Carrots
Potatoes

2 cups browned beef

After mixing base and spices, add other vegetables. Cook all day in a slow cooker. I turn my slow cooker on high until I get a boil, then down to low for the rest of the afternoon.
This soup has a rusty color that lets you know it is ready.

This is a great soup for beginners.  If you need help with your vegetables, try 4 cups potatoes, 4 cups carrots, 1 cup celery and 1 medium onion.  I never measure this stuff, just throw in what I like, but if you need a guide, try it.

This is a fabulous soup for winter.  So nice, when you are tired of chicken noodle.
