I have been looking at the Italian Beef for a few years now and this Christmas I pulled the trigger on it. I just finished the fourth sandwich from it and it was very good. I added a little bit of provolone to it which I’d recommend. The au jus gravy was so tasty I saved it after making the sandwiches. I heated it up to a boil, stirred in a cold water and cornstarch mixture and lowered the hear. Good on noodles. I think it was 1/3 cup cold water and 3 Tablespoons cornstarch stirred up until dissolved. I sent several kits out to family and they all seem to be happy with it. Ohh and if you put the dry ice in the kitchen sink, use a hot water bath to get the best fog effect.

Great Pack
Really enjoyed this combo kit as the bread was legit and the sweet peppers were fantastic. We will order this same pack in the future.
