Old Fashioned Barbecue Beef Sandwiches 
6 pointsplus points (not including bun)
serves 10-11


3 lb beef brisket
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 cup brown sugar
6 oz of tomato paste
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce (can't use this)
2 tbsp molasses
3/4 cup water
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp mustard (I used dijon since i didn't add the chili powder)
1 tsp coarse salt, to taste
hamburger buns (we like TJ's whole wheat hamburger buns)


Trim all visible fat from the brisket and place on a cutting board and rub with salt and pepper. Place brown sugar, tomato paste, ketchup, vinegar, molasses, water, mustard and salt in slow cooker (make sure to use a crock pot liner for easy clean up) and mix well.  Add meat and cook on low for 8 hours.


When meat is cooked remove to a cutting board (or as I do just keep it in the pot) and shred with 2 forks and mix well with sauce.  I used a half cup meat per hamburger bun and it was the perfect amount.




Apple Cole Slaw
4 pointsplus points
Serves 5  

3 cups of shredded cabbage
2 apples, cut into bite sized pieces
2 green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup mayo (I used miracle whip to cut on calories)
1/4 cup brown sugar


In a large bowl, combine 1st 3 ingredients.  In a small bowl mix the other 2 ingredients until combine.  Toss the dressing with the salad and serve right away.


VERDICT: delish, good down to earth food that is a hit with everyone!
