Southwestern Slow Cooker Barbecued Beef Hoagie

Ingredients

  • My Slow Cooked Beef (*see note), 1 - 2 cups depending on size of roll and how much you want
  • your favorite barbecue sauce to taste
  • 2 Tbl. Minerva Dairy Maple Wood Smoked Butter
  • julienned and/or chopped peppers (I used 1 small red cubanelle and 1 jalapeño)
  • thin slices of tomato
  • pepper jack cheese, shredded or pieces, as much as you like
  • thinly sliced red onion, to taste
  • 1 thick-cut lean strip bacon, snipped, peppered, and cooked crisp
  • peperoncini peppers and/or a garlic dill pickle spear
  • 1 - 2 more Tbl. Smoked Butter
  • 1 large hoagie roll

Instructions

  • In small frying pan, melt 2 Tbl. smoked butter over medium heat, add peppers, and sauté until crisp-tender. Set aside.
  • In small or medium bowl, add slow cooked beef and coat with your favorite barbecue sauce to taste. Heat through in microwave, stirring as needed.
  • Butter insides of hoagie rolls, and broil until toasted.
  • Pile toasted bottom roll with beef, tuck half slices of thin tomatoes along one side, top with pile of peppers, then shredded cheese. Broil until cheese has melted. Place a pickle spear (and/or a few peperoncini peppers along other side). Sprinkle with red onion and crispy bacon pieces. Enjoy!
