✨NEW Italian Shredded Beef Sliders✨

For the full recipe with detailed instructions, visit my blog www.Rightbackspatula.com!

Here’s what you need:
3 pounds beef chuck roast (suggest 1lb per every 2-2.5 people)
Montreal steak seasoning
1 onion, thinly sliced
1-2 (1 ounce) packages zesty Italian salad dressing mix
5 - 6 pepperoncini peppers
1/2 cup pepperoncini juice
1 cup beef broth

Generously season chuck roast on all sides with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Thinly slice onions. Add a layer to the bottom of a crock pot. Top with chuck roast. Sprinkle Italian seasoning packet on top. Add another layer of thinly sliced onions. Add pepperonis, pepperoncini juice, and beef broth.

Cover and cook for at least 6hours or until chuck roast easily shreds with a fork. Drain some juice, skim fat and serve on the side for dipping.

I like to serve with toasted ciabatta buns or loaves, provolone cheese slices, and the hot peppers from Potbelly subs (they sell in the stores).

***Go easy on the Italian seasoning packet. You can always add more as it cools. Enjoy!!

The best Roasted Veggie & Chicken Soup. Trust me,

Spaghetti Squash and Meatball Boats: 1 spaghetti s

Spaghetti Squash and Meatball Boats:
1 spaghetti squash
1 jar Trader Joe’s Marinara sauce
Meatballs, homemade or store bought
Red pepper flakes
Dried Oregano
Trader Joe’s Soffritto Seasoning
Pecorino cheese, grated
Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Provolone, sliced
Parsley to garnish

1. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Using a fork, poke some holes on the outside. Place squash face down and cook for 3 minutes in the microwave. Remove and place face up in an oven safe deep baking dish. Preheat oven to 425°. Drizzle squash with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a little pecorino cheese. Set aside.
2. In a saucepan, heat up some marinara sauce. Add red pepper flakes (I used about 1/2 tsp), oregano, and Trader Joe’s soffrito seasoning [optional]. Add homemade or frozen meatballs and simmer down for 15min.
3. Scoop some sauce in the bottom of the spaghetti squash. Add some meatballs. Top with shredded mozzarella and a slice of provolone cheese.
4. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from foil and bake another 20-25 minutes until cheese is golden brown.
5. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and more pecorino cheese - duh! To serve you could either scoop into a bowl and add extra sauce or grab a fork and dig in. 🍝
