A few years ago, I decided I could never eat another bad sandwich.  When you make that pledge to yourself, you know you need to find GREAT sandwiches to fill the gap.

If you’re here, you just found GREAT sandwich and gap-filler number one.

It’s a fix-it-and-forget-it meal which makes me happy, and yummy enough to make everyone else happy.
Win-win, right?  Another family favorite that just couldn’t get any simpler. This recipe is perfect for a family, or can be easily increased for a crowd. I made it to serve at my daughter’s  graduation open house with Cheesy Potatoes and everyone loved it.  A couple other favorite sides with this are  THE Mac and Cheese, or Pickle Dip.

You know you want this sandwich.

You’re going to need a jar of pepperoncini peppers. If you’re not familiar with them, they are a mild, yellow pepper that adds fantastic flavor without scaring off those who aren’t lovers of all things spicy.

To feed six of us, I bought two smallish chuck roasts adding up to about 5-6 pounds.

Peel and roughly chop 3-4 cloves of garlic and insert the pieces into slits in the beef.

I heat up my trusty non-stick skillet and butter some big, soft rolls and grill them until golden brown.
