1
lb. beef (roast, etc. - not ground)
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 Green Bell Pepper
4 Pita, Flax, Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Pita Bread (I use Joseph's)
1/2 cup Creamy Spinach Dip (I used Tostitos)
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 Green Bell Pepper
4 Pita, Flax, Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Pita Bread (I use Joseph's)
1/2 cup Creamy Spinach Dip (I used Tostitos)
I
used a package of boneless beef ribs, which I had never used before but found
it on sale so decided to give it a try.
I cooked the meat in my slow cooker (not crock pot but I’m sure you
could adjust to it). When the meat was
tender and falling apart. The onions and
peppers I sauted in a frying pan. I added this to the beef and let it slow cook
on low for about 30 minutes. To make the
sandwiches I sliced the pita in half, spread some of the spinach dip on one
side of the pita and then added the beef.
Serves 4
Comment: As I said, I’ve never used boneless beef ribs
before but they were on mark-down sale with the sale by date being 2 days
away. The cost - $4.30 for just over a
pound. I noticed the meat was lean, with
very little fat, making me decide to use it in place of a higher price roast
cuts. Great decision! I keep chopped onions and bell peppers in the
freezer so they took no time and just pennies in cost. The Joseph’s pita bread is some I found on
sale at Walmart that when I read the nutritional info I couldn’t turn it
down. I bought a package of 6 for
$1.36. And the spinach dip’s price was
on sale for $2.99. I used about 1/3 of
the spinach dip making the cost around $1.00. This gives this an approximate cost of $1.70
per serving. Not bad.
The
taste of this dish was wonderful! The
spinach dip gave it a delicious change from the traditional mayo. And for me, half a sandwich was plenty (the picture above is for a half sandwich cut in half so they are rather large). You can even add a little cheese if you want and
still stay within your calorie, protein, carb limits.
