Tom Thayer’s Italian Beef Recipe

Here’s a Thayer family secret…the Italian beef that feeds an 1985 Chicago Bears Super Bowl Champion…as discussed on the Dahlcast.

Ingredients:

One 3 ½ to 4 pound boneless beef chuck pot roast

One package of Zesty Italian Salad Dressing and Recipe Mix

One 16 oz. jar of hot giardiniera

One 16 oz. jar of mild giardiniera

One dozen baguettes (French rolls)

Directions:

In a four-quart Crock-Pot, pour in one bottle of giardiniera. Place the roast on top of the layer of giardiniera. Sprinkle the salad dressing mixture on top of the roast. Add the second bottle of giardiniera to the top of the roast. Cover Crock-Pot and cook on high for 6 to 8 hours. When fork tender, shred the roast in the Crock-Pot and allow it to combine with the other ingredients. Slice the baguettes in half and pile on the beef and giardiniera mixture.
