Football Food

When the Baylor Bears play football we act like it is a national holiday.  Last game day all of the kids were here, ready to eat and cheer on the Bears! 

The following recipe is from Ree Drummond - better known as the Pioneer Woman.  I found this recipe several years ago on her blog (not in her cookbook) - it has become our football food!

Italian Drip Beef Sandwiches

1 whole Beef Chuck Roast, 2.5 to 4 pounds
1 can beef consommé or beef broth
3 Tablespoons (heaping) Italian Seasoning
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup water
1/2 of a 16 ounce jar of Pepperoncini Peppers with juice
Buttered toasted deli rolls

Combine all ingredients (except the rolls of course) in a crock pot.  Stir to combine seasonings with liquid.  Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or until meat is falling apart.

Remove the meat from the slow cooker and shred with 2 forks.  Place back in the crock pot.  Serve with the buttered rolls, letting everyone make their own sandwiches.  I put out small bowls of the liquid for the dipping part.

This also delicious with the grain free sandwich rolls from "Against All Grain" cookbook by Danielle Walker.

I made a green and strawberry salad to go with this.  And for the non-Paleo peeps, chips.  For dessert, lemon curd cups from "Meals Made Simple" by Danielle Walker.  Yum. . .

And by the way - Sic 'em Bears!
