Crockpot Italian Beef

Raise your hand if you love a crockpot meal! I LOVE a crockpot meal year round, but especially during the busy season of back to school. Nothing beats the feeling of walking into your home after a long day and dinner is simmering away in your crockpot. This is an easy recipe for Italian beef. We like to shred it up and serve it on a crusty roll with provolone cheese. If you don't like pepperoncini or giardiniera, feel free to serve without. 

Crockpot Italian Beef

Serves: 6-8 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 10 hours

Ingredients:

1 pot roast (I used a 2lb boneless petite pot roast)

1 Italian Dressing seasoning mix 

1/2 16-ounce jar of pepperoncini peppers, plus juices

1/2 16-ounce jar of giardiniera, drained

Beef broth

Ciabatta rolls

Provolone cheese

Directions:

1. Turn your crockpot to low, and add in your pot roast.
2. Top with Italian dressing seasoning mix, pepperoncini peppers + juice, and drained giardiniera. 
3. Add beef broth until it covers 2/3 of your pot roast. 
4. Cook on low for 10 hours. Your pot roast will only get yummier and more tender the longer it cooks. 
5. When ready to serve, shred up the meat using two forks and place on a ciabatta roll. Place a piece of provolone cheese over the top. You could then place your sandwich in an oven to cook until cheese is melted, or serve immediately. We like to add some of the remaining giardiniera peppers over the top for some texture. Enjoy!
