Tender and flavorful crock pot Italian beef sandwiches made with slow-cooked shredded beef, seasoned with Italian spices and pepperoncini, served on toasted rolls with optional cheese and toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 (10 oz) jar pepperoncini peppers with juice
  • 1 packet Italian dressing seasoning mix
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 46 hoagie or French rolls
  • Optional: provolone cheese slices
  • Optional: giardiniera or extra pepperoncini for topping

Instructions

  1. Place chuck roast in the crock pot.
  2. Add beef broth, pepperoncini with juice, Italian seasoning mix, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or HIGH for 4–6 hours until beef is tender and easily shredded.
  4. Shred beef with two forks and return to the juices in the crock pot.
  5. Preheat broiler. Pile shredded beef onto rolls and top with cheese if using.
  6. Broil for 1–2 minutes until cheese melts and rolls are slightly toasted.
  7. Serve hot with optional giardiniera or extra pepperoncini.

Notes

  • Skim off excess fat before serving for a lighter version.
  • Use banana peppers as a milder substitute for pepperoncini.
  • Great for meal prep—beef stores well in the fridge or freezer.
  • Serve with a small bowl of jus for dipping.
