Favorite Italian Beef Sandwiches
I'm a paramedic/firefighter, and slow-cooked recipes like this one suit my unpredictable schedule. My husband and children and the hungry bunch at the firehouse love these robust sandwiches that have a little zip.
10-12 ServingsPrep: 20 min. Cook: 8 hours

Ingredients

  • 1 jar (11-1/2 ounces) pepperoncini
  • 1 boneless beef chuck roast (3-1/2 to 4 pounds)

  • 1-3/4 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large onion, sliced and quartered
  • 10 to 12 hard rolls, split

Directions

  • Drain the pepperoncini, reserving liquid. Remove and discard stems of
  • peppers; set peppers aside. Cut roast into large chunks; place a
  • third of the meat in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add water.
  • In a small bowl, combine the seasonings; sprinkle half over beef.

  • meat to slow cooker; sprinkle with remaining seasonings.
