Making our own roasted meats for sandwiches....
I have to share this with you because, well, who else might be interested?
My daughters are all starting their summer jobs at a local camp, and yesterday I added things to pack for lunches into my usual Sunday grocery shop. The girls had asked for cold-cuts, but, I decided to buy fresh meat and roast it for them (for all of us) instead of purchasing from the deli. I bought a small piece of London broil (1.7 lbs on sale, 1.69 a lb), and a turkey breast.
I have an old, oval porcelain covered iron pot (about 2 qt size) that was my grandmother's (like Le Creuset, but probably bought for pennies). I put a teeny little bit of olive oil in it, heated it up, then added the salted and peppered London broil. I was in a hurry, (unpacking groceries, million other things to do - you know the drill) so I just chucked in some onion powder and garlic powder (usually would use fresh onions and garlic). I cooked this on the stove for about 1/2 hour and it came out so delish! The plan is to slice it thinly for sandwiches. I was really pleased with the cost savings and also, hopefully, it's healthier than processed meat.
Had to share that long story! Tonight I'm doing the turkey, and will freeze some.
