The beef was $4.49/lb. The jar of peppers $3.35. The 8-pack of buns was a buck. The giant bag of french fries at Sam's was $6.88 for 32 servings!
Italian Beef and French Fries
3.2 pounds beef chuck
1 jar Dell' Alpe Pepperoncini
1 package white hamburger buns
Ore Ida Fast Food Fries
Brown the chuck in a large cast iron skillet on medium, ten minutes on a side.
Drop the chuck into a Le Creuset oval oven, dump the pepperoncini on top and put on the lid.
Bake at 170 degrees F for ten hours.
Remove from the oven and reserve the peppers for serving, drain the liquid and shred the beef. Return shredded beef to the pan and keep warm, adding back juice to moisten as desired.
Bake the fries per the package directions.
Serve a half cup of the shredded beef on a bun with the fries on the side.
Easy peasy. Weepy cheapy.
