You know my hot beef looks inviting.

Nobody can resist my hot beef.

A buck says he has a cock pot. Probably 2.

Mine is often called a Spiedie (Speedy) for obvious reasons...

I asked as I didn't see sausage in your 3rd pic of your OP.

is it more for the eyetalian sausage flavor or save it to make a sausage sandwich with marinara or something?

Just adds different flavor/texture. You end up with a big hot sausage surrounded by hot beef.

Win/win.

If you were to order it in a restaurant you'd either get a standard Italian Beef, or a combo which is both on the same bun.

I just picked up a boney roast and a pound of tubed Italian sausage.

Because you can't cook in crock pots, I browned that [bleep] in a heavy roaster.

Browned that [bleep] up, pulled my meat out, threw in some onion, garlic, and a little carrot, some salt, pepper, a little dried pepper, and Travino's Eyetalian seasoning packet. Tossed my beefy meat......on top, add h20 and put in the oven to braise. If I'm still awake in 4 hours, I'll pull my meat out and let it sit in the pot until tomorrow, where I'll toss in the sausage and cook it for a few more hours.

Now I need some good buns to slap my meat in.

Who has a good recipe for Giardinera?

This is my favorite variation. I do add another jar of pepperoncinis.

Italian beef for sandwiches

Mad Mooner,

Once you find a couple buns suitable for your meat, make sure the slot is big enough to fit the sausage and meat gravy.


Travis

Ah, yes. The age-old search.

Be sure to get it cheesy first.




Apologies to member cheesy.

u get back in your pen!!!

TRAVIS, how's about this hot Eyetalian ??? and would my german sausage work with it?

I believe Nazis and Eyetalians have gotten along quite well in the past.

Maybe you can teach her to cook when you're done.



Travis

I'll show her my slow cooker...... ......... both of them

Now I'm totally confused.

I thought you were supposed to slip a meat tube in a crock and pull it out juicy and greazy.

Do the buns wipe the greaze off?

Is that necessary?

Does the sausage have to be consumed?

Just don't wipe your sausage off on the curtains! They get very hot when that happens.

On the subject of the sandwiches.... We had a little Italian eatery in the small center near my parents' house when we were growing up, and they made an excellent Italian beef sandwich. They closed just a few years ago after 40 years in business.

A Portillos's opened up in Buena Park, and they make a pretty good Italian Beef sandwich, dipped, undipped or juice on the side - your choice.

Portillos are all the way out in CA??? Holy schit.


Travis

Are the packets of zesty italian dressing the actual dressing or the powder form to make dressing?

Also, when you make the combo, do you slice the sausage up and mix in with the roast?
