Sometimes I feel like all we eat is chicken around here. Probably because I don't like hamburger, as I've told you before. But I do like beef. Just not in hamburger form. So I started making Italian beef, and it is delicious! It is juicy and flavorful and has a zip to it! Here's what you'll need: Roast (round or rump) Italian dressing mix Banana pepper rings Onion Garlic First, put the roast in your crock pot. Sprinkle the Italian dressing mix on top.

They were so good, so I wanted to try it out myself. Here's Continue Reading

But really a lot of sides would go with this recipe. Try it out for yourself. You'll need a butter stick, a lemon, dry Italian mix, and shrimp. Pretty simple, huh? I started by lining a baking sheet with aluminum foil. This made clean-up a breeze! I didn't even need to wash the pan! I just wrapped up the foil and threw it away.
