Use this week’s recipes to create delicious 2 meals + snack, breakfast and dessert that are easy on you and your family will love! We’re making a classic Southern Pot Roast that turns into Roast Beef Po’ Boys because using recipes that can be served more than one way are a great meal planning strategy!
This Week’s Secret to Success
leftovers aren’t everyone’s favorite. And I get it. But what if, instead of just serving the same ol’ meal again, you could use the leftovers from the first meal to make a whole new second meal? That’s when leftovers become GENIUS!
This week, buy a pot roast bigger than you normally would. Cook it up classic the first night with new potatoes, onions and carrots. (I’ve got crock pot AND oven instructions.)
Then the second night, shred it up right, slice some tomatoes and serve it as Roast Beef Debris Po Boy Sandwiches! C’est bon!
Leftover night shouldn’t be a hassle. That’s why the creamy coleslaw recipe uses a packaged coleslaw mix. A few green onions, a little purple cabbage and a homemade dressing goes a long way in making it really delicious. Add your family’s favorite bag of potato chips, and you’re finished!
Menu 1- Classic Southern Pot Roast
The base for all of this week's recipes, nothing says family dinner like a fork tender, classic Southern Pot Roast recipe. Cooked low and slow with beef broth, red wine, savory seasonings, aromatic herbs and plenty of dinner vegetables, this one pot meal recipe has instructions for both the crock pot AND the oven!
Menu 2- Roast Beef Po' Boy Sandwiches
A Roast Beef Po Boy is a Louisiana favorite, chock full of rich, fall-apart beef roast bathed in its own debris gravy, wrapped in crispy, light French bread and dressed to the nines with creamy horseradish, lettuce, tomatoes and Provolone cheese. This week, we're pairing it with creamy Southern Coleslaw and your favorite bag of potato chips!
