This recipe is a variation on some of the recipes and ideas we talked about the other day.  I took his recipe and combined it with my recipe for slow cooker Italian Pot Roast.  The result was a sloppy, messy and super tasty sandwich!

Is it a Keeper?

These sandwiches were incredibly good!  And, incredibly sloppy!  I loved the variety of flavors and textures that the peppers added — a little kick from the pepperoncini, sweetness from the roasted red peppers and tangy-ness from the green peppers.

Straight up, this is one great sandwich!  Perfect for parties or an easy weeknight dinner that has little hands-on time.

Let me warn you, though, it is sloppy!  It is drippy.  It is messy.  But, it is delicious!  To help combat the sloppiness, I used hard rolls from the bakery.  I also toasted them.  I think this helped absorb some of the juiciness. I wouldn’t use traditional hamburger buns.  They’re too soft.  You’ll have a soggy mess on your hands.  I also wouldn’t let them sit.  Dish ‘em up and eat ‘em fast! It won’t be hard.  Trust me.

We loved this recipe and I know that I will be making it over and over again!  It’s one of my new favorite crock pot recipes!

In case you were wondering, this is the slow cooker I have. I absolutely LOVE it!

I love her cooking style and how they’ve incorporated her blogging into the show.  On her first episode, she made Cowboy Breakfast Sandwiches.  As soon as I saw them, I just knew my husband would love them!  I knew, though, that I had to make a few tweaks to the recipe.  So, the recipe that follows is my interpretation of the PW’s original.

Cowboy Breakfast Sandwiches
Compliments of It’s a Keeper
Adapted from The Pioneer Woman Cooks
www.everydaytastes.com

4 Breakfast sausage patties, cooked
3 Eggs
1/4 cup half-and-half
Salt and peper, to taste
2 Tbsp butter, divided
Garlic butter (recipe here)
4 slices Texas Toast
2 slices American cheese

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half and salt and pepper.

Heat up a skillet over medium heat.  Melt 1 Tbsp of butter.  When skillet is hot, add egg mixture.  Cook until set being careful not to over cook the eggs.

Spread garlic butter on one side of each slice of bread.  Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet or griddle.  Place each slice of bread, butter side down, in the skillet.

Place half of the eggs on one slice of bread and put the 2 sausage patties on the other slice.  Repeat for the second sandwich.

When the Texas Toast is grilled, about 3-4 minutes, add 1 slice of cheese on top of the eggs.  Carefully put together 1 slice of toast with eggs and 1 slice with sausage.  Repeat for second sandwich.

Garlic Butter

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cloves garlic, peeled

Place butter and garlic in food processor. Process until garlic is completely incorporated into the butter.  If you dont’ have a food processor, finely grate the garlic on a rasp and stir to combine garlic and butter. 

 

 

Is it a Keeper?

The hubs took one bite of this sandwich and rolled his eyes — in a good way!  He didn’t really say much, he just sort of inhaled the sandwich and mumbled a few “mmmm”s and “oh my god”s.  Then, he asked for another!  Apparently, the garlic butter made the sandwich incredible.  It really takes it over the top.  I think it’s safe to say that this recipe is a keeper!

What would you add to this sammy to make it even tastier?
