Slow Cooker Cheesesteak

Can you hear that "Oh yeah...." song from Ferris Bueller's Day Off right now?  The one they later used in a Twix commercial I think?!  Man, I sure can!  D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!  And crockpot simple!  

This was our Friday night special!  After these long weeks lately and such crazy busyness, we have been drawn into ordering takeout on Fridays.  Once you do it...you get so used to it and you just cave.    And then you are stuck.  SO not good....just SO not good...it's tough on the pocket and on the backside.  Not much takeout food is as healthy as anything you cook at home and of course with a family of 6, it's a minimum of $50 a pop!  So I pulled out the trusty old slow-cooker, popped this in when we got home from school, and bam....done by dinner, no effort at all, crazy good and fed the family for $23. Yep....$3.85 per person! Boom!  Cheesesteak heaven...




What you need...
2 lb. ribeye roast, thick cut (was on sale for $8.99/lb.)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons tamari (wheat free soy sauce)
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
1 pint mushrooms, sliced
pepper to taste
your favorite bun
mayo
swiss or provolone slices

Add the ribeye to the crockpot, top with peppers, onions, and mushrooms.  Pour the tamari & balsamic vinegar over, and hit it all with a few dashes of pepper.  Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.
Remove veggies and beef from crockpot, reserving au jus for dipping!  Preheat the oven to broil.  Slice buns in half and add to a foil lined baking sheet.  Spread with mayo, top with beef and mounds of those veggies!  Lay a slice or 2 of your favorite cheese over and broil for 3 minutes.  Top with bun lid, or enjoy open faced!  

These are great with Udi's Gluten Free Buns!  Serve them up with some Alexia Sweet Potato Fries and the au jus!
