I don’t have a lot of time to make dinner at night. It’s tough juggling spending time with my baby, working, and dinner. My husband is amazing and cooks dinner several nights a week. It allows me to spend some time in the evening with our baby and we still get a home cooked meal.
However, I really miss cooking dinner every night. I enjoyed being in the kitchen and making gourmet meals. While I don’t have the time to make gourmet meals anymore, I can still make some simple and tasty ones. One of my favorite things to do is throw something together in the slow cooker while I have time in the morning before Baby J wakes up.
I can make some really great meals in the slow cooker. I especially like using it in the winter because most of the meals are comfort food and warm us up when it’s cold outside. I’ve been making a lot of soup in the slow cooker but I like to make other meals too.
These Slow Cooker Italian Pot Roast Sandwiches are awesome. It makes 6 so my husband and I each eat one and then split and 3rd one for dinner and we still have enough left for lunch the next day! Plus there is often enough beef left over to make a plate of nachos for a snack the following day.
I like that the peppers and onions are cooked in with the beef. They get a ton of flavor and taste great on the sandwich. Plus the seasonings mixed with the beef broth make a delicious au jus for dipping! Sometimes we even melt a piece of provolone cheese on top but this sandwich is tasty without it and perfect for winter dinners.
