This year's Super Bowl celebration will be held at Camille's house. (Which is usually is because her projector makes it seem like you're on the field!) But everyone was in charge of bringing a treat of somekind. So, Nate and I decided to make his favorite dinner dish, along with an oldie but goodie dessert recipe that is as easy as gets. It may be true that I don't really watch football, okay I don't watch it at all, but I am always up for a reason to cook some tasty food!
Crock Pot French Dips2-3 Lbs. oven roast
2 cans beef broth (about 4 cups)
2 pkgs Lipton Onion Soup mix
White Italian Sub Rolls (We get our bread from Subway, they sell a 12" roll for .50!)
Provolone cheese slices
Put oven roast in a crock pot. Add beef broth and soup mix. Cook on LOW for 7-8 hours. Shred roast with a fork, then return the shredded beef to the crock pot for a few more minutes (to absorb more of that juicy goodness). Slice open the bread and place a good amount of beef on one side (scoop out some of the bread first if you don't like it really bread-y). Place a slice or two of Swiss cheese over the shredded beef and broil for a minute or so until cheese starts to bubble and brown a little. Remove from broiler and serve. Use a ladle to scoop out some of the juice from the crock pot and serve as au jus.
Cookie Crumble Cheescakes
12 Vanilla Wafers/12 Oreo Cookies, plus a few exras for crumbling
(Use whichever you'd prefer, or double all other ingredients to do both)
12 foil cupcake liners
2 packages cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place one cookie in the bottom of each foil liner, place liners on cookie sheet; crush a few cookies to top cakes later. Mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together in a mixer on medium speed untill well blended. Add eggs to batter one at a time, on low speed, just untill incorporated. Spoon batter evenly into liners. Sprinkle top of batter with cookie crumbles. Bake cakes 20-25 minutes, or untill centers are just starting to set up. Let cool in fridge for at least 3 hours, or overnight.

... and may I say - the "dips" were fantastic - we had a great time!!
O my word! Wow....both the sandwiches and dessert look amazing. Maybe we need to come over again? J/K I'm so glad to hear Nate is better. Also thank you for updating your blog. :)
I love those mini cheesecakes. I made those a few years ago to give to neighbors for Christmas. I put strawberry, raspberry, or chocolate on them for topping.
Yummy.
