Does anyone have the recipe for..

14 years ago

Well, I've searched as well as I can and cannot find the crock pot beef sandwich recipe anywhere. Could anyone help me? I think it was Ginger's Crock Pot Beef Sandwiches or something like that....Thank you so very much! I still have company and am looking for something easy and not too time-consuming for dinner tonight! I have made it several times and it's really good!

CROCKPOT FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES

Here is one that is delicious that is made in the crockpot. I am going to make it this coming week, probably Wednesday when I next make homemade bread so that I can make hard rolls to serve it on. Can't wait!.

2 cups water
1/2 cup soy sauce
4 whole peppercorns
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1 tsp garlic powder (had none so used 1 minced garlic clove)
3 lb boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed
8 French or sourdough rolls, split

Combine water, soy sauce, peppercorns, rosemary, thyme & garlic in a slow cooker, stirring until well blended. Place roast in cooker & cover.

Cook on high for 5-6 hours or until beef is tender. Remove meat from broth & shred with a fork. Serve beef on rolls. Pour broth in small bowls for dipping.~~ Good topped with Swiss cheese or sauteed onions, peppers or both. I like mustard on the rolls, too.~~

Sure. You can just make plain tomato sauce and then using dried basil only (not fresh) add to taste. Go easy - it can get bitter and intensifies with time of storage. We add 1/2 t. of canning salt too to each pint but that is optional. Plain Sauce recipe is in the BBB and at NCHFP too see the link - it's just tomatoes and lemon juice. Make sauce as usual. Add 1T lemon juice to each pint, 2 T to each quart, leave 1/2 in head space, process 35 minutes in BWB. Easy as ...falling off a log. ;) Dave There is also an Italian Tomato Sauce in BBB that is very good. But it uses fresh herbs and so has to be PC.

I hope this isn't too late for you. I read it this morning and thought I'd remembered someone asking for a recipe. Sounds really easy too!! Hope this one helps. Rock Candy Stir Sticks 2 cups water 5 cups sugar food coloring plastic container lid wooden coffee stir sticks, bamboo skewers or popsicle sticks In a large saucepan over medium high heat bring water to a boil and sthen stir in sugar. Continue to boil until mixture reaches 260 degrees. Remove from heat and let mixture cook for 5 minutes. Pour sugar mixture into glass jar and add drops of food coloring. MIx lightly. Punch stir sticks through the plastic container lid. Set lid over glass jar so the sticks hang down into the sugar mixture but don not touch the bottmo of the jar. Set the mixture aside for 7 days and you will find magical rock candy stir sticks. Give the sticks as gifts for grown-ups to stir in their coffee or tea or to kids to eat.

Does anyone have my 'Up and Down Gumbo' recipe?
Q
Comments (5)
I FOUND IT and I'm cutting/pasting it here so I can search for it later. It was buried in an odd file on my laptop. W00t! Up and Down Gumbo with Smoked Paprika 1.5 lb mix sausage and chicken, or to taste, sliced or cut up into pieces. Oil for sautÃ©ing AP Flour - up to Â½ cup 3 cups water or stock 1 Tbsp chicken bouillon (if using water) 2 bay leaves 1-2 Tbsp savory 1-2 Tbsp smoked paprika FGBP (I used green peppercorns) to taste 1 med/large onion, chopped 3 stalks celery 2-3 cloves minced garlic Brown your meats in a dutch oven over medium heat. Remove meat, add oil if necessary, and make a roux with the flour, scraping up the bits. In a separate pan, saute onion, celery until soft, add garlic at the last minute. When roux is colored to your liking, add onion mixture and three cups water and bouillon or stock. Add seasonings (bay leaves, savory, smoked paprika) and bring to a low boil until thickened. Add back in the meats and their juices, add FGBP to taste. Serve over rice. [For those who are interested....although I was terrified I had poisoned my guests, it thankfully turned out that this dish did NOT agree with me. Hence the title 'Up and down'. You can fill in the visuals. I don't think that will help get the recipe points, though]

Below is a link to a Pineapple Coconut Jam on the Harvest Forum. Googling finds some delicious sounding coconut jam recipes: COCONUT JAM 1 pound flaked unsweetened coconut 2 tablespoons orange\-blossom water or rosewater (at gourmet and Middle East markets) 2 cups sugar 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 2 cup unsalted pistachios 2 cup blanched almonds, chopped Sprinkle coconut with flower water and 4 cup water, fluffing as you do so. Cover and leave overnight. In saucepan combine sugar, lemon juice and 2 cup water. Simmer about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, to thicken. Add soaked coconut and slowly bring to a boil again, stirring constantly. Remove from heat as soon as it boils or it will harden and yellow. Let cool. Mix in nuts and pour into glass bowl. Serve the following day or refrigerate in tightly sealed sterilized jar. I think I might try the Papaya/Coconut Jam. Fresh Papaya and Coconut Jam 4 cups papayas, pureed 2 cups fresh coconut, grated 4 cups sugar 1 (2 ounce) box dry fruit pectin 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated Cook slowly the papaya puree, grated fresh coconut, sugar and box of Sure Jell dry pectin for 15 minutes. Add the lemon juice and the grated fresh ginger and cook for another 5 minutes until it is thickened. Place in four sterilized pint size bottles. Coconut could probably be added to any freezer jam recipe too. http://www.freshpreserving.com/pages/jams\_\_jellies\_\_\_other\_fruit\_spreads/76.php Michelle Here is a link that might be useful: [Sarah Bella's Pineapple Coconut Jam](http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/harvest/msg0700060421237.html)

Oh my. I think I'll have to print that out for this weekend. How about all day on low instead of 5-6 on high?

Thank you.

I make something similar to that but I add mushrooms to the gravy.

kate, I think all day on low would be just fine, since I often use the crockpot to cook while I'm at work, things cook closer to 9 hours or more than 5 or 6, so it's low for everything except beans.

I will vouch for that recipe! I think I have made it at least 50 times! I even make it and freeze to reheat for dinner on my annual girl's camping trip...yes it is THAT good! LOL

Yes, all day on low will be fine.

Even easier in the crock pot:

dredge with flour and S&P a chuck roast and brown it, then into a crock pot with a large onion, sliced, and a few cloves of crushed garlic, add 1 cup red wine. That's it, unless you want to add other seasonings.

Or leave the flour off for more au jus type sauce.

I use beef stock instead of water....and red wine.....and because of the salt in the stock, I cut back on the soy sauce to 1/4 cup....and add a couple of tablespoons of worchestershire.
But I usually add more wine and broth for a 3 pound roast....as I want lots of "jus" for dipping!
And, I do it in a cast iron Dutch oven....
but out side of those few things...I do it exactly like that! LOL!

Thanks Annie and Linda. You know this might be good on New Year's Day since my husband and I will both be home that day/evening. Definitely going to do it in the crockpot. Yum.

I'm trying this out today. However, I threw the meat in without searing it. Afterwards I wondered if it would've been better seared. Any advice? Too late now, but for the future.

Julie - I have made it both ways and though I do prefer it seared (adds that little touch of caramelization to the over all flavor) it is still very tasty when it isn;t seared. It will be jsut fine :-)

Julier1234, You don't need to sear the meat before adding to the crockpot for this recipe. You are going to shred the meat when it's done, anyway, so searing the meat is totally unnecessary.

Claire...Huh?

Oh, I'll bet Claire was trying to post to the Spice Questions thread and posted here by mistake. They were talking about using desiccants to prevent onion powder from clumping.

I have a question on this recipe.

It calls for 4 peppercorns.

4 ??

Just 4? How's that going to do anything?

Are you talking about those little balls you put into the pepper grider to have fresh ground pepper? Those little tiny balls? 4 of them?
sushipup1

That's the trouble with recipes. 4 Peppercorns? Like my mother, way back when, thought she was so daring to put a hole clove of garlic into her spaghetti sauce to simmer and then remove it before serving. And she worried that the sauce had too much garlic.

I'd just give as many twists of the ol' peppermill as I like. I'm not about to count our peppercorns!
julier1234

So darn good!!! Oh and I am a recipe follower so 4 peppercorns it was (not a huge pepper fan anyways). It was perfect - all of it. Thanks Ginger! I want to try the other one she posted - with the pepperoncini.
