@lemonfair, totally, if you imagine a 9X13 dish parcelled into 12 servings. It's really decadent.

I served this the other day with chili. In making the mac and cheese, I realised I was out of white bread, and substituted some jalapeno cheddar bread I'd bought on a lark at the grocery earlier in the week. The result was awesome! ANd the jalapeno flavour really echoed the peppers in the chili.

I was convinced this would be too much sauce, but somehow, those noodles drank it up.

I tried a new sandwich combo, and it was delicious:

A good bread slice, toasted, topped with peanut butter, banana slices and avocado slices, drizzled with honey and sprinkled with a dash of cayenne pepper. Wow!

Beef on Weck rules! Locally, Rockland Bakery's saltstick roll is a great option if you can't get to a Buffalo bakery.

@Lorenzo Yeah, I get what you are saying. However these folks are very easy going and as we have known them for many years will get a kick out of the effort. Also, neither of them have been back for 10+ years and copious amounts of alcohol should temper the picky picky out of them! Oh, until you have tried my cheesecake hush yo mouth sir!! Just kidding.
But it's damn good.

@madeline your post left both myself and husband laughing so hard it hurt. When I first saw it I thought hmmm dip would be a good thing to add. Husband said so what is it? I looked it up and told him "Hey babe it's bison, for real!" He said you mean buffalo? Yup. He started laughing and was trying to wrap his head around the irony of watching a Buffalo game and eating buffalo. To which he added well maybe we should add some mahi mahi to the menu. We both wondered if the Indianapolis (Colts)/Denver (Broncos) have a horsey dip. Thanks for the heads up on the Labatt's.

Thanks to all who suggested the Beef on Weck. Husband saw that and ran to freezer and took out a beef roast. He wants it. BAD!! Since we have a slicer this should be good. Got a good tip on how to make the rolls from a Bobby Flay recipe. I may be making lots and lots of food. I do doubt any of it will see the light of day so it's all good!

@zucchini, that article and photos regarding "Beef on Weck/Wick" has almost convinced me to move to Buffalo. Wow, looks delish..!
It comes very close to resembling a French Dip Sandwich; it must be the roll.

I grew up in Western, NY (about 2 hours from Buffalo) and the best thing from that area is not wings. It's beef on weck.

This is a version of my mom's recipe:

1 large roast
s&p
beef stock
kummelweck rolls

Season roast with s&p and place in 450 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a nice crust forms. Drop roast in a crock pot and cover with stock. Simmer on low for 4-5 hours.

Slice meat thinly, dip rolls in the jus, pile on the meat. The meat is cooked to medium well this way, which is not traditional, but it's how I ate most beef on weck growing up.

@dmcavanagh that sounds great! Thanks!

@lo82070 Great idea--I forgot about that.
@Mike Not gonna find them in Florida and way too late to order, but thanks for the idea. Chili dogs do sound good.
@zucchini That sounds doable. Even though I have planned the Cuban sandwiches, more meat sandwiches is perfectly acceptable for men and football!
@Cary while I do try and accomodate my guests this is a Miami Dolphin house. No other logos aloud! :b Besides they are not wine drinkers.

I received The Joy of cooking as a wedding present. garrettsambo@aol.com

It was a Strawberry Shortcake cookbook that had recipes for sandwiches and other easy recipes.

Better Homes And Gardens, but I grew up with my mom's Betty Crocker cookbook.

A collection of recipes that my mom made based on my observations

My Mother in Law got me a 5 ingredient cookbook that had horrible recipes which basically combined 5 canned foods into one dish meals. Revolting.
