If you have ever been to New Orleans, you know that po' boys are everywhere and they are delicious. One of the favorites is a debris po' boy. Traditionally they are made with the parts of the roast beef that fall to the bottom of the pot when making roast beef po' boys. Many people think that the debris po' boys are better than the regular roast beef po' boys. Here is an easy way to make them.
2½ to 3 lb | boneless
chuck roast |
1
packet |
au jus mix |
1
packet |
brown gravy mix (Louisiana Cajun brown gravy mix if possible) |
1 cup | water |
cheese
(swiss and munster work well) |
|
shredded
lettuce |
|
mayo |
|
Dijon mustard |
|
bread & butter pickles |
Spray the
crock of a 4-to-6-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking
spray. Add the
chuck roast. Whisk
the au jus mix, gravy mix, and water together in a small bowl. Pour the gravy mixture
over the chuck roast. Set
the slow cooker on low and cook for at least 8 hours and 10
hours is better. Take
the roast out and shred the meat with forks discarding the fat. Skim off any grease
that collected on the top of the gravy in the crock. Put the shredded meat
back in the crock, stir to combine. Dress the French bread
with cheese, lettuce, mayo, mustard, pickles, or however you
want. Add a
generous helping of the roast beef debris.
