I'm a big fan of cheesesteaks, and in this throw-together recipe my slow cooker does all the work. It's a win-win. —Christina Addison, Blanchester, Ohio

Ingredients

1 boneless beef chuck roast (2-1/2 to 3 pounds), trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium onions, halved and sliced
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 medium sweet red pepper, sliced
1 medium green pepper, sliced
8 slices process American cheese or pepper jack cheese
8 hoagie buns, split and toasted

Directions

In a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker, combine first 6 ingredients. Cook, covered, on low 7 hours. Stir in peppers; cook, covered, until meat and peppers are tender, 1-3 hours.
Stir to break up meat. Serve beef mixture and cheese on buns.

Test Kitchen tips

American cheese is traditional on Philly-style sandwiches, but we won't tell if you top yours with pepper jack and pickled jalapenos.

Toast the split hoagie buns under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, but don't turn your back—they go from perfect to burnt in a hurry.

This meat turned out really tender and the sandwiches were delicious. I added 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt and a beef bouillon cube along with a cup of water in the crock pot.

Loved how simple this was to put together! I did have to add some more seasoning though to bump up the flavor to our liking, but it is a good base recipe. I used provolone cheese and it went perfectly with the meat - the sandwiches were delicious!

Tried this last night for dinner. OMG , this is a keeper for sure. Simple to prepare with very few ingredients and so tasty. I added in 1/2 cup or so beef broth and seasoned salt. Hubby and I love this sandwich.
