After the garlic sauteed for a minute, I added the noodles and a little salt and tossed to coat. While the noodles were draining, I sauteed some fresh garlic that I sliced with my Pampered Chef Garlic Slicer (which is one kitchen item I could not live without) in some California olive oil. We sliced the Italian loaf into 6-inch pieces to be sandwich bread, while I boiled some Linguini noodles. That’s just as cheap as at the grocery store, and I supported a local business instead of a large chain! Assembling the Sandwichesįast forward a few hours, and we take the meat out of the oven and finish breaking it apart with the wooden spoon. In the meantime, I went out to the local bakery, Apple Annie’s Bake Shop, on my lunch break and bought a loaf of homemade Italian loaf for $2.30. Joe’s is our favorite – no cholesterol, low in sodium, and yummy! After he added the sauce, he turned the oven down to 275 degrees for another 3 hours, taking it out halfway through to break the meat up with a wooden spoon. Then, he took it out and added 1 26-ounce jar of Joe’s Great All-Purpose Marinara. Today, my boyfriend put one in my Pampered Chef Deep Covered Baker in the oven with a splash of water in the bottom, 1 chopped yellow onion, and 6 whole fresh garlic cloves. Yesterday, we took one of them out of the freezer to thaw. We brought them home and froze them individually in freezer paper. I can’t remember the actual cost per pound – but it was reasonably priced. He put a 2-pack of sirloin tip roast in the cart – it was two 4-pound roasts in a package for somewhere around $20. So, a few weeks ago at Sam’s Club, my husband came shopping with me (which happens about once a year, thank goodness). All I can say is next time I try to post about a food concoction, I will try to do better so you can see photos of it. It was beef sirloin roast, simmered in marinara, and served on a hoagie roll.īefore I continue I have to apologize for my lack of photos in what you are about to read. And it wasn’t your regular old Italian beef sandwich with Italian seasoning and banana peppers. They had a special name for it, but all I can seem to remember is that I think it started with the letter D. I can only say, if you are a fan of the show and you know the restaurant/sandwich name I am speaking of, please let me know and I will give proper credit. Also, my apologies that I can only credit Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and not the genius Italian restaurant owners who gave us the inspiration for our dinner tonight. The Episode with the Italian BeefĪnyway – last week we were watching an episode, and my apologies that I cannot remember the name of the restaurant, or the name of their special sandwich. He likes to watch the show for the “meat” ideas – he’s the meat cook around here. It’s cheaper, healthier, and well – we just like it better. My husband and I both like to cook, and we almost always cook and eat dinner at home. Anyway – the moral of the story here is, I love Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Then I make something highly experimental for lunch. Sometimes I watch it when I feel like going somewhere, and I look at all the restaurants I would like to visit if I weren’t sitting on my couch.Īnd sometimes, on weekend mornings, I might watch it for 3 or 4 hours before I even realize what happened. Other times, I watch it when I’m hungry and get ideas for dinner. Sure enough -watching all of that yummy, tasty restaurant meal will make the bad mood go away. Sometimes I watch the show when I’m in a cranky mood. For more information, visit my Disclaimer Policy.
