Roast Beef Sandwiches and Broiled Asparagus

Roast Beef Sandwiches
These are a favorite leftover after Crock Pot Roast Beef.  There are several variations:

1-Layer heated left over roast beef on sandwich buns.  That's all the kids want!  Andy and I like ours au jus--dipped in the drippings or in a concentrated beef broth--dissolve one beef bullion cube in 1/2 cup water.

2-Layer heated left over roast beef on bottom of sandwich buns. Top with hot mashed potatoes and gravy and then the top of the bun.  Andy likes mayonnaise with his.

3-Broil open buns--mayo on one side, a slice of muenster cheese on the other--until cheese is bubbly and buns are browned to your liking.  Heat meat separately and place in between bun halves.  Yum!


Broiled Asparagus
This is my favorite way to eat asparagus, and all my kids love it!

Trim*, wash, and dry asparagus.  Pour a little olive oil in a large rimmed cookie sheet.  Place asparagus spears on cookie sheet and roll them around until coated in oil.  Sprinkle generously with salt and fresh ground pepper.  Broil about 5 minutes, shaking pan once for even cooking.  When asparagus is tender, it's ready.

*To trim asparagus, bend a single stem.  It will naturally break where the stem starts to get woody--discard the bottom (or reserve for later use--see soup in following post) and cut all your spears to that length.
