Oh Boy I Hope It's Roast Beef

The classic roast beef po boy. Tender beef, gravy, the fixins, and french bread. Is that what makes a good po boy? In a word, no, non entirely. Sure, it makes a po boy, and you need it for a good 1, simply the existent judge is how many napkins you need when you eat information technology. Yous want it skillful and sloppy.

This ane, you may need an entire roll!

If y'all've never had a po boy, it'southward a sandwich on French staff of life. It comes with alot of different stuffings – shrimp, oyster, hamburger, fish…merely my favorite is roast beef. The tender meat and gravy become me every fourth dimension.

I make it in my slow cooker and that'due south really the beauty of this recipe. It comes out perfect every single fourth dimension. I don't accept to fuss with the gravy, I just gotta throw it in there, shred it, and stuff information technology in my face.

I don't want to tell yous how to eat a roast beefiness po male child, merely I'll requite yous some tips. You demand to hit that thing upward with mayo. Don't skimp. If you don't similar mayo, well I have nothing to say near that. The lettuce should be shredded. Not leafage lettuce, y'all know? Not burger type lettuce. It just makes a difference if you very thinly slice it in ribbons. Pickles and tomatoes and cheese, that's your pick.

The biggie hither is the bread. Even in New Orleans, I'm gonna tell y'all, I rarely get a po boy with adept bread. Information technology has to be just right. If y'all get a loaf that is not dense enough it acts like a sponge and gets soggy. Besides tough of a crust, you can't go far and get out. You'll know what I hateful if you lot ever eat a po boy with a tough crust. If yous hit upward a fancy store with fresh broiled French staff of life and it feels soft and good, you better be using that thing the mean solar day you buy it. The adjacent 24-hour interval it turns into a night stick and that will not make for a good po boy. Y'all tin trounce an intruder with it, but that's about it.

All that leads me to this:
It's the closest I've found to the perfect French bread without heading back into the swamps of Louisiana. You can get information technology at Wal-Mart, Piggly Wiggly, Publix. Whatever your local store is, I bet you can go it there. Pepperidge Subcontract Hot & Crusty French bread.

So allow's go the paper towels out and practice this!
