Slow cooker roast beef & roast beef pizza

Here are 2 recipes that I have come to love!! I found both of these at www.allrecipes.com .

Slow Cooker Roast Beef
INGREDIENTS:

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS:

1. Pour the soy sauce and dry onion soup mix into the slow cooker. Mix well. Place chuck roast into slow cooker. Add water until the top 1/2 inch of the roast is not covered. Add the fresh ground pepper over the top.
2. Cover and cook on low for 22 hours.

This was SOOO good! A big hit for everyone!

Roast Beef Pizza
INGREDIENTS:

• 1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1 tsp garlic powder
  
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 cups chopped cooked roast beef
• 1 tbsp dehydrated onion flakes
  
• 1 1/4 cups sliced mushrooms
• 1 1/2 cups shredded fiesta blend cheese
  
• 1 (1 pound) loaf frozen bread dough, thawed

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large resealable plastic bag or shallow glass dish, combine oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Add beef, onion and mushrooms; toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
2. Meanwhile, let dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour. Punch dough down and roll into a 14-in. circle. Transfer to a greased 14-in. circle. Transfer to a greased 14-in. pizza pan. Drain and discard marinade; arrange beef and vegetables over crust. Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-40 minutes.

This recipe is my variation to the one on Allrecipe. But, it turned out AWESOME! Instead of using frozen bread dough, I made some pizza dough using my bread machine. It turned out really good. Definately a recipe that will be used in the future.

As a side note, I just used the same roast beef from the slow cooker meal for the pizza. That way I got 2 different meals out of one, and leftovers too!!
