Easy Potluck Idea: Crockpot Roast Beef Sandwiches
Here is a wonderful easy hit to bring to those office potlucks or family reunions, or any other kind of gathering where everyone has to bring something. I always like to put a roast in my crock pot the night before, bring it with you the next day and you have perfect roast beef sandwiches for everyone at a fraction of the cost of what it be to make a huge salad or desert!

Onion Flower
Before you begin you will need: sharp paring knife, ice water and a skewer.
Peel the onion. Hold it so that the onion point is on top. Make the first cut by taking the knife directly down the middle, using a rocking motion. Do not cut completely through the onion. Turn the onion and repeat the step above. Continue this process until there is no more onion to cut. Place the onion in ice water and the onion will bloom. You may add food color to the ice water to give your flower color. You may skewer the onion flower at the stem end, or just set on tray to garnish food.

Put under broiler or on top shelf of oven, set at 350 degrees F and bake until cheese is melted and bacon is crisp.
