Sloppy Moes

March 25, 2010

Some of you are reading the header of this post and thinking to yourselves–”I knew it! Moe is a slob!” However that is not what I am going to talk about–this is not a confessions of a messy housewife entry into our blog. Though it did for a moment make me look around my work area and consider abandoning this post for other projects.  ADHD is the enemy I tell you!  OK back to my point–This is a soul sharing entry on a comfort food favorite for lots of Americans–and we of course cleaned it up! This is a slow cooker recipe that would be perfect to have on a “game night” or bring to a pot luck party. These even made spectacular left overs for the hubby to bring to work the next day! I paired it with a Napa slaw that was so fast to prepare i wonder why I never thought of sharing it with the readers before! The bun is a gluten free cheesy bread roll–but you can use any of your favorite rolls for this–just make sure they are not store bought rolls–it would be a great disservice to the meat and slaw.

Sloppy Moes
serves 5
2lbs lean beef roast
1 medium onion diced
1 sweet red pepper diced
1 14oz can low sodium diced tomatoes–drained well
2 tbl chili garlic sauce
2 tbl spicy brown mustard
2 tbl cider vinegar
2 tbl garlic powder
Juice of half a lemon

Place all ingredients into the slow cooker and cook on high for 5 hours. When the meat is done it should shred very easily with a fork. Serve shredded with some added sauce.

For the Napa slaw, dice 1 head of Nappa Cabbage and toss with Squeaky Gourmet’s Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing. You can either serve the slaw on the side or serve on a bun as pictured.

Other Good Ideas:

– Serve on corn taco shells with added chili sauce and avocado slices
– Serve over brown rice

    Yummy! I like the idea of using a cheesy bread roll for it, too.
