Meal: Pulled Beef Brisket Sandwiches with Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Pulled Beef Brisket Sandwiches: This makes for a great crock pot meal that helps speed up the finally preparation process for getting dinner on the table. If you have left over pulled beef try making Beef Hash and Eggs.

Ingredients
1 beef brisket
1 medium onion
½ tsp salt
1 can beer
2 cups water or beef stock
½ tsp pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 pkg Kaiser sandwich buns
Favorite barbecue sauce
sandwich pickles


Combine all ingredients into a crock pot. Place setting on low and cook for 7-8 hours. When the brisket is done cooking, remove from the crock pot into a large mixing bowl. Using a large serving fork to stabilize the meat, shred the beef. Season with salt and pepper.

Toast and butter the inside of the Kaiser buns. Top with shredded beef, barbecue sauce and 2-3 pickles.



Baked Sweet Potato Fries: This has become my most favorite way of eating a sweet potato A) because they are healthy fries and B) because they are more savory than sweet since most preparations of this potato involve brown sugar etc.

Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp Kosher salt

Slice potatoes into long strips about 1/4 inch thick. Toss in lime juice and Kosher salt. Spread out on a greased cookie sheet. Broil for 20-25 minutes; tossing after 10 minutes and then every 5 minutes after that until fries are tender.
