Weeknight Italian Beef by Publix: Approved by Mr. Beachy

I really love Publix.  I went in Tuesday night with the intention of making hamburgers.  Nothing new, creative or fun about that.  I rounded the corner by the deli and there was the cute little Apron's lady making Italian Beef sandwiches.  She gave me a sample and as soon as I put it in my mouth I knew Mr. Beachy would love it!  I took the recipe card and wheeled around collecting my ingredients.  Mr. Beachy was thinking we were just having a version of sloppy joe's, but when he tried these I knew it would be a new favorite.  You MUST try this: 

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup pre-diced onions
1 (17-oz) fully cooked beef pot roast (Publix brand)
1 1/2 cups tomato basil pasta sauce
1 cup fried peppers and onions (found in the pickle section)
1 cup mild pepper rings (also in the pickle section)
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
6 Bakery French (or regular) Hamburger Buns

Steps

Preheat large saucepan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan, then add onions; cook and stir 4–5 minutes or until onions begin to brown.

Stir in remaining ingredients (except buns) and cover; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir 15–20 minutes or until hot, breaking meat up as it cooks.

Serve on Bakery buns.
