Another one that was a bit of an evolution. I put this Chuck roast on the Rec Tec Friday afternoon on low temp / extreme smoke for 4 hours. The idea was that I'd put it in the slow cooker Saturday morning and have a nice dinner since I knew Tracy was gonna have my @$$ scrambling Saturday. We got the chores done and the weather was just gorgeous: sunny and temps knocking on the door of 90 degrees. She decided at 3:00 Saturday afternoon that she wanted burgers for dinner that night. It was the perfect day for an all American cookout, so I gave in (of course). Plans for the chuck roast just got derailed and moved to Sunday. I did something for the burgers Saturday that I'd never done before, but will do again: I grilled the bacon instead of frying it. The only reason I mention this is because it's going to show up in the one pic I post of dinner Sunday night when I put the chuck roast back on to slow cook. This post is about the leftovers we did on Monday. Yep...it was an evolution 
Here is the one pic from Sunday night dinner. We did the chuck roast, a nice salad, and mashed taters with the grilled bacon that was left over from Saturday.
Here is the bacon on the grill over the sear burner but on low temp
Sunday dinner
Fast forward to Monday. The chuck roast was SO good I had to come up with something to do with it, so decided on sammies. Here is the rest of the roast and gravy in a pan to warm up
Cut up ad seasoned some taters for fries
Into the Emeril 360 air fryer
Got some spinach, butter, and garlic into another pan
Nice Brioche buns for the sammies
Some good quality Swiss Cheese
Load the buns with the warmed chuck roast
Add the Swiss cheese then under the broiler for a few minutes
Cheese melted and buns nicely toasted
Money shot: add spinach to the sammies, fries to the plate, slice, and it's time to eat!!
At the end of the day, this sandwich was nothing short of spectacular!! Both of us just loved it. I've done stuffed taters in the past with chuck roast but something about the Brioche bun, the spinach, and the melted Swiss cheese was just off the charts. All in all, not a bad use of leftovers Tracy has actually asked me to do a chuck roast and divide it out into dinner sized portions and freeze it so we can make this any time...seriously, it was that good. Far be it from me to be tie disobedient husband!!
Have chuck roast, will travel,
