Buffet BBQ Beef Sandwiches

Keeping food warm during a festive family meal used to require little cans of Sterno and way too much special attention, but when you enlist your slow cooker to help, life is so much easier. I'd suggest this for a post-carol singing party or a harvest season soiree with your neighbors.
Serves 8

32 ounces extra-lean turkey or beef
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can Healthy Request tomato soup
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon pourable Splenda or Sugar Twin
1 teaspoon chili seasoning
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
8 small hamburger buns

Spray a slow cooker container with butter-flavored cooking spray. In prepared contaner, combine uncooked meat, onion, and green pepper. Stir in tomato soup, vinegar, Splenda, chili seasoning, and black pepper. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours. Mix well before serving. For each serving, spoon about 1/2 cup meat mixture between a bun.

Each serving equals:
