Easy French Dip Sandwiches

3 lb. sliced deli roast beef (the kind you use for sandwiches that's already cooked...I used
"Land O Frost", but you can use whatever your family likes)
1-2 packages of Aujus mix (I used McCormick's Mix...YUM)
6 slices of Swiss or Provolone Cheese
6 sliced sandwich rolls (French Rolls, Kaiser Rolls etc...anything you would like)


In a large frying pan place meat with 1 c. water, simmer/steam until warm. Prepare Aujus mix according to package directions. Butter inside of roll (both top and bottom) and place butter side down in hot frying pan. Cook until browned. Place 1 slice of cheese on inside of browned bun. Top with 1/2 lb. of warmed roast beef (I patted mine dry with a paper towel before putting it on the bun). Pour Aujus in a small bowl and eat to your hearts content.

Corndog Chili

Ingredients
2 tablespoons EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus additional
1 pound all-beef hot dogs, chopped
2 pounds ground sirloin
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped or grated
2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
3 cups beef stock
Salt and ground black pepper
1 box cornbread mix, such as Jiffy brand
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg


Preparation

Place a large saucepan over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Add the chopped hot dogs to the pan and cook until brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and reserve hot dogs.

Add the sirloin to the same pan and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 6-7 minutes. Add the onions, garlic and jalapeño to the pan, and cook until tender, 5-6 minutes.

Add the reserved hot dogs back to the pan along with tomato paste, chili powder and paprika, and cook until deep red and aromatic, about 30 seconds. Stir in the beef stock, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, and bring the liquid to a bubble. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
While the chili is thickening, place a large skillet or griddle pan over medium heat with a little EVOO or a spray of cooking spray. In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the cornbread mix, mustard, milk, melted butter and eggs so it's the consistency of pancake batter.

Ladle the batter, about 1/4 cup at a time, into the pan to make griddle cakes. Cook until bubbles burst on the raw side and the edges begin to dry, 3-4 minutes. Flip the cakes and cook another minute until done. Reserve cooked cakes on a plate until the whole batch is cooked.
