  1. Italian Hot Beef

    For each supper swap meal, use 1 recipe with 2 pounds of chuck roast.

    For every 2 pounds of chuck roast (or chuck tender roast) mix together:

    12 oz beef broth
    1 Tblsp ketchup
    1/4 tsp Worchester sauce
    1/4 tsp Kitchen Bouquet
    4 drops Hot sauce

    Sprinkle garlic salt and pepper on roast to taste. Put in crock-pot with above mixture. Cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 8 hours. Shred beef with a fork and
    return to juice.

    Jonelle’s note: I used chuck roast or chuck tender roast - whatever is cheaper. It is great to make ahead. I did 2 roasts in 1 big crock-pot. Can be frozen and reheated easily. Include buns the day of the swap.
