With Mother’s Day this weekend I wanted to come up with something really great for you ladies. It wasn’t easy though. It was a toss up on something sweet or a special dinner which got me thinking – I always end up cooking one way or another on that day, so what’s a Mom to do on her own special day? Cook something that requires very little work , that’s what! I came up with a two version meal, you can either serve hot with sides as a full rounded meal or cut the trimmings and make it a fun lunch which is what I did. Wanted fun, melt in your mouth taste that didn’t require much of my time. Here is what I came up with-
A Hot Roast Beef Melt, which was made from a pot roast dinner.
It’s a party in your mouth kind of sandwich !
Slow Cooker Beef Pot Roast
Ingredients
1 cup of sliced mushrooms
1 cup of chopped bell peppers , either green or red even both if your feeling up to it!
6 tablespoons ketchup
1/4 cup water
1 -2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 pounds boneless shoulder pot roast
Directions-
Coat a slow cooker (about 4 quart size) with cooking spray. Place your mushroom and bell peppers in a coated slow cooker. Combine the ketchup, water, Worcestershire , pepper and salt in a small bowl and mix to combine. Using a medium sized skillet heat about a tablespoon oil and you’ll want to brown each side of the pot roast. Once it’s browned on all sides (about 2-3 minutes on each side) take the roast and set it in the slow cooker. Take the Ketchup mixture and pour over the roast. Cover and cook on High for an hour. Set down the heat to Low and cook about 6 more hours or until the roast is very tender.
For a Pot Roast meal– simply take baby carrots and small red potatoes (halved or quartered) and set them in around the roast in the slow cooker. They come out soaking in juice and you have your full dinner made with little to any effort what so effort. This serves great with green beans, mashed potatoes and some fresh dinner rolls.
To assemble the sandwich– Toast a buttered roll. Mix a few tablespoons of mustard and mayonnaise together, then spread it on the two halves of the rolls. Your choice of topping, sauteed onions, pickled peppers, pickles, roasted peppers or tomatoes, use whatever you wish, layer it on. Take some roast beef (shred it up should be fork tender) and layer it on one side of the roll. Take your choice of cheese, mozzarella or swiss cheese and layer that on as well. Top with other half of roll. Eat and be happy!
Happy early Mother’s Day to all my fellow Mom’s 🙂

Ooh…that’s interesting…I never thought to use a slow cooker but I imagine it makes the meat very tender. Thanks for the tip and recipe!
I was already hungry, but now I am starving! Looks and sounds delicious. Happy Mother’s Day to you as well!
