DIRECTIONS

1.

BBQ BEEF:

  • Spray a braising pan with pan release spray.
  • Add the thawed beef crumbles to the braising pan. Do not use frozen beef crumbles in recipes.
  • Combine the beef base with boiling water. Stir until all of the beef base dissolves.  Set the broth aside for use later in the recipe
  • Combine the onions with the beef crumbles. Add the celery, garlic powder, catsup, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, dry mustard powder, white pepper, cayenne pepper, and beef stock.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring frequently.

CCP:  Heat to 165 degrees F or higher for 15 seconds at the completion of the cooking process. If the manufacturer's instructions on the package or case have a higher temperature, follow those recommendations.

3.

SANDWICH ASSEMBLY

  • Place 24 bottom portions of hamburger bun on sheet pans, 4 down and 6 across.
  • Portion ½ cup (#8 scoop or 4-ounce spoodle) of BBQ beef mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
  • Cover with the top portion of the bun.
  • Sandwiches may also be wrapped in deli paper, waxed paper, foil sheets, plastic wrap, or placed in sandwich bags.
  • Place each sandwich in steamtable pans (12" x 20" x 2½") lined with pan liners.
  • Prepare in batches to maintain quality.

Serve immediately, or cover the pans with a lid, aluminum foil, or plastic wrap. If foil or plastic wrap is used, cut holes in it to allow steam to escape. Place the pan in a warmer until ready for service.

CCP:  Hold and maintain the product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F or higher.

4.

Portion one sandwich per serving. Each portion provides 2 oz. eq. meat/meat alternate and 2 oz. eq. whole grains.

CCP: Hold and maintain the product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F or higher. Check temperature every 30 minutes. Unassembled leftovers should be covered, labeled, and dated. Quick chill within 2 hours to 70 degrees F or lower and from 70 to 41 degrees F or lower within an additional 4 hours. Leftover assembled sandwiches do not have good quality when reheated. For best quality, assembled sandwiches should be discarded.
