crockpot italian beef

Some friends came to visit last week from Mississippi and I was shocked when they told me they didn't know what Italian Beef was.  They don't know what they're missing!!

 

This is a go-to recipe at our house.  It's easy and delicious! And I get to use my crockpot...and I love my crockpot. 

 

italian beef:

not pictured: hoagie buns

ingredients:

chuck roast

zesty italian seasoning packet

pepperoncinis (juice)

beer (whatever you have in your fridge)

hoagie buns

-Put the chuck roast, beer, and Italian seasoning in the crockpot.  You don't even have to mix it up.

-Add a little bit of pepperoncini juice (about 1/4 cup).  I like to put a few pepperoncinis in there too.

-Set on low for 8 hours.  

-I shred it just before I serve it... 

 

 

Serve on a hoagie bun...

You can add some pepper jack if you want, but we like ours plain.  That good!

 

 

Enjoy!!

I'm ready for some warm weather around here!  I'll miss my boots, but I'm ready for sun.  I've been doing a lot (too much) online
"browsing" lately hoping that it will bring warmer weather.  Loving...

lately

I finally did it!  I ran my first 5k last weekend.  I talked about training for it here.  I stopped running in August and picked it back up recently.  I NEVER thought I would be able to do it. 

Chase gave me some inspiration before the race...

 

Run Forest!

 

 

Clay and Mom came to cheer me on! 

 

Last weekend Taylor and Grady (my sister and future brother-in-law) had their Engagement Party.  Fun was had by all!

crock-pot tacos

I feel like I've abandoned my blog.  I miss it! I've been using my crock-pot A LOT lately and I wanted to share this recipe.  I'm all about easy, and this recipe is EASY. You will not be disappointed.  Clay loved.

 

Crock-Pot Tacos

 

 

the meat:

1 package of chuck roast (I think mine was around 2 pounds)

1 can of green chiles

1 onion (diced)

1 packet of taco seasoning

1 tbsp vinegar

 

Put it all in the crockpot and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours.  Shred the beef after it is cooked.

 

 

the topping:

1 16 oz can sour cream

1 packet spicy ranch

(mix together)

 

 

Take a tortilla and spread the topping around.

 

 

Put the meat on.

 

 

The cheese is optional!  This is even good without it. 

 

YUM!!

gp does j. crew

It's not a secret that I LOVE j. crew and Gwenyth Paltrow.  The clothes at j. crew are timeless, classic, and chic.  I was doing some reading on GOOP this weekend, and I love Gwyneth Paltrow's j. crew style. 

 

 

 

I want it all!  Head on over to goop to see more of Gwyneth's j. crew looks...

 

 

naan

I love making pizza in the oven using naan.  You can find naan at almost any grocery store.  I like to get the naan at Target.

 

bbq chicken naan pizza

1 package naan

sweet baby ray's bbq sauce

red onion

bacon

chicken

pineapple

mozzarella

 

Take the naan out and put it on a cookie sheet.

Preheat oven to 350F.

 

 

Spread some sweet baby ray's bbq on it.

Put some red onions on the top.

Cover your pizza with toppings (cheese, bacon, pineapple, chicken).

For my chicken, I put some frozen breasts in the oven and cook them.  I chop them up and mix them in some bbq sauce.

Put the pizza in the oven for around 10-15 minutes or until the pizza is hot.

 

 

YUM!

This is such an easy weeknight meal.  Great to make for family dinners too!
