I'm originally from the Windy City so I love Chicago-style beef. These tender sandwiches lend an authentic flavor, and they're so simple to prepare using a slow cooker. —Lois Szydlowski, Tampa, Florida

Also being from the Windy City living in Venice Florida, this makes an excellent sandwich. The best giardiniera is Mild and made by Dell'Alpe'. Can't find it here near me, so I stock up on it when I go home. Almost looks like that was used in this recipe. You can also add some shredded Mozzarella cheese on the top and lightly toast your Italian Rolls.
