Bolillo rolls are filled with juicy, tender slow cooked beef short ribs, El Yucateco® hot sauce and melty cheese to bring you the ultimate Short Rib Sandwiches.

In our circle of friends, we all love a good tailgate.  The reasons from person to person differ ranging from food, drinks and the actual game.  I probably don’t have to tell you which I prefer.  In the past decade that I have been out of college (BAH!)  our food game has been upped.  No longer do we just grill plain ole hot dogs and hamburgers, grab a few bags of chips and a snag a few cases of $9.99 beer. Oh no, it’s tailgate time which means we bring it.

These days you can find us at our alma mater, cheering on the Redbirds, drinking sangria, craft beer and feasting on Short Rib Sandwiches.  These days we need sustenance in our lives so we can wake up to our children the next morning.  Long gone are the days of 12 hour hangovers, so we need something that is going to taste amazing and help us power through whatever life throws at us.  Goodbye naps.

When we were in college, it was easy to head down to the parking lot, grab a spot and set up “tailgate shop.”  These days we all have kids, schedules and too much baggage to carry to a football game.  So when we can’t make it to a game, or the parking lots are full, we tailgate at home.  We set up our neighbors garage with a bar, food station and turn the TV to football.  Saturday is college game day and on Sundays we watch the professionals.  There is no shortage of game day around here.

I love to tailgate at home just as much as I love attending the tailgate at the actual game.  Sometimes I feel as though it’s less hassle trying to round everyone and everything up and head out the door at a decent time to get just the right spot.  Plus I really love a good slow cooker meal and having to find a place to plug-in and bringing extension cords just ain’t my thing.

Luckily, these Short Rib Sandwiches stay warm for a long time and get eaten immediately so if you are attending the parking lot party, these will keep warm for a while. But if you are tailgating at home, just plug this baby in and the meat will continue to get tender.

I made another game day great last winter, Slow Cooker Spicy Pork Carnitas, using El Yucateco® hot sauce and it quickly won me over as my new go to hot sauce.  They have a large variety to choose from but m favorite to use in recipes, like these Short Rib Sandwiches is the Red Habanero Hot Sauce.  It’s packed with heat, yet not overpowering.  It packs so much flavor into recipes.  It leaves a lingering “sweet” heat on your tongue that is just perfect for slow cooker recipes.

El Yucateco® hot sauces are made from habaneros that are hand-picked in their fields, so you know they are super fresh.  You really get the true flavor of the pepper as they use less vinegar than other brands on the market and that’s why they are the #1 consumer choice and my choice as well!

When tailgating, I love to bring a variety of sauces for people to dress up their dishes as I’m not sure what everyone palate’s are.  That is why I like El Yucateco® so much as they have hot sauces ranging from hot to XXX Hot.  I was able to find a few sauces at my local Jewel.

These Short Rib Sandwiches are perfect for game day.  All you need to do is throw some beef short ribs into your slow cooker with El Yucateco® Red Habanero Hot Sauce, some onions and garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and in 6 hours, you’re good to go.  We stuff ours into bollilo rolls piled high with pepperjack cheese, banana peppers and extra hot sauce.

Everyone raves about these sandwiches and for good reason.  They’re AMAZING!  The short ribs fall off the bone. They’re juicy and super tender.  These are our go to sandwiches for tailgating, homegating and Sunday dinners.  They’re hearty, delicious and packed with so much flavor, no one can resist.  Just make sure to make a double batch and bring a few extras bottles of El Yucateco® hot sauce, in your purse.
