We had pulled beef sandwiches yesterday when my dss and his girlfriend came by for a visit. This is the first time in over two years, and it was WONDERFUL that he came by!!!
I was going to suggest the mexican route also... but no one mentioned quesadillas. They are sooooo easy to make, and with a roast, you can make them for your family for days. Just put a pat of butter in a frying pan over med heat, put a flour tortilla in the pan and spin it around to coat the bottom of the tortilla. Put shredded cheddar on half of the tortilla, then some shredded roast meat (you can add some onions and romatoes if you like at this point also). I usually put more cheese on top of the meat, because we like ours extra gooey After you make it a few times, you get the hang of how much cheese to put on each. Then fold the empty side of the tortilla over the cheese side. You have to watch it carefully so you don't burn it. After the bottom is brown, flip it to brown the top, then cut it with a pizza cutter. You can put toppings on like they do at restaurants if you want
Huh. I never thought of quesadillas with shredded beef! Maybe that will be lunch tomorrow. Today I made 10 lbs worth of Chicken Tenders for my freezer!
What did you do to do that? I don't know much about cooking, I was never taught. I never thought I liked it because I didn't know what I was doing. But, I am beginning to like it and want to learn all I can. So will you share?
There's a meat place up the road that had Chicken Tenders for $1.99/lb. I bought ten pounds worth. I had some with rice for dinner that night, and then I made Oven-Baked Chicken Tenders with most of the rest (search in Google, and you'll find a million recipes). These I froze for lunches. My recipe uses parmesean cheese (which dh doensn't care for), so I did fry some up just in olive oil, which dh can use in his lunches, either on sandwiches or salad.
Yes. I lightly breaded them and baked them, then froze them. I'll cook them frozen for about 10 minutes at 400° when we're ready for them.
Haven't read ALL the responses, but one of our family favs is http://theskinnywallet.wordpress.com/2010/03/11/dinner-on-a-dime-beef-stroganon/ beef veggie soup, BBQ, shred for tacos/burritos/enchiladas, beef stew, beef stir fry.... or just use different spices ont eh roast and toss in different veggie or cook veggies seperate. Serve with lima beans and rice, serve with sweet potatoes and corm, serve with broccoli and carrots, serve with black eyed peas and collard greens.... I could eat roast every night though LOL
I like this recipe: Leftover Roast Beef Italian Stew(Makes about 2-3 servings, recipe can easily be doubled.) 1/2 onion chopped 1/2 green pepper chopped (or more) 1 T olive oil 8-10 oz. leftover roast beef or steak (about 1 1/2 cups diced beef cubes) 2 cups beef stock (or 1 can beef broth plus a little water) 1 cup slow roasted tomatoes (or 1 can diced tomatoes) 1/2 T dried oregano 1/2 T dried basil 1 cup mushrooms, cut in large chunks 1-3 T chopped fresh basil (or frozen chopped basil.) Cut onion and green pepper into 3/4inch pieces, and roast beef and mushrooms into 1 1/2 inch pieces. In heavy dutch oven type pot, saute onions in olive oil for 3 minutes, add green pepper and saute 3 minutes more. Add beef, stock, tomatoes, oregano, basil, and mushrooms, reduce heat to very low, and simmer 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste for seasoning, add salt and pepper if desired. Add fresh basil when stew has cook to desired consistency and cook 5-10 minutes more. Serve hot.
WOW you all had some I had never thought of! thanks I am going to make one today since we are homeschooling away from home most of the day!
