Italian Beef

This meal takes me back to Sundays as a kid. Sundays, helping Grandma clean up and watching football with Grandpa. The family members have changed and it was playoff basketball today instead of football, but the feeling was still the same. I made this old school Sunday dinner a little bit healthier with brown rice and fresh green beans instead of the cooked-to-death canned beans.
