Football Friday: Pepperoncini Beef

Labor Day weekend has come and gone; which is the unofficial end of summer, and the official start of everyone's favorite season: FOOTBALL!!!!

The Wisconsin Test Kitchen started The Whole 30 the day after Labor Day, and as of this blog being posted, are on Day 4. Takeaways: Kevin has discovered he likes Whole 30 compliant mayonnaise, and Rebecca has finally gotten over her sugar withdrawal headaches. We're having lots of lettuce wraps, vegetable slices, almond milk and fruit smoothies and eggs. Lots, and lots of eggs. 

But, we tried a Whole 30 meal the other night that we thought our non-Whole 30 followers might enjoy. This beef roast was juicy, flavorful and perfect for Football Sundays. If you're not on the Whole 30, the beef would be delicious on sandwich rolls with slices of provolone cheese. Alas, we had our beef wrapped in butter lettuce leaves- surprisingly delicious! 

This is the perfect football Sunday recipe: put the ingredients in the slow cooker early, and allow the meat to cook all day- finishing up right in time for dinner. It doesn't get much better than that!
