Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sandwiches

These Italian beef sandwiches are like Philly cheesesteaks with pepperoncinis - so delish!

I was immediately drawn to this recipe because it was like a mix between Mississippi pot roast and Philly cheesesteak. There is no way a recipe could be bad if it was that combination! As expected, this was a wonderful recipe. I keep an eye out for sales on pot roast and pork loins and tend to always have one or the other (or both!) in my freezer at any given time. I definitely recommend doing that because it's awesome to save money AND have one of them in the freezer to make a great recipe like this when you want it!

What you need:

• 4 lb. boneless beef pot roast

• 1 tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. garlic powder

• 2 green bell peppers, sliced
• 2 yellow onions, sliced
• 1 jar (12 oz.) sliced pepperoncinis, plus some for serving

1. Reserve 3 Tbsp. juice from pepperoncinis, drain the remaining sauce.

4. Add pot roast to slow cooker and pour tomato sauce on top. Then add green bells, onion, and pepperonicinis.
5. Sprinkle with remaining seasoning mix and reserved pepperoncini juice.
6. Cover and cook on LOW for 10 to 12 hours or on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours.

8. Top with onions and peppers, additional pepperoncinis, and 2 slices of Provolone cheese for each sandwich.
9. Cook in a preheated 250 degree oven for a few minutes, just until cheese melts.

I'm sharing a completely different recipe here but I love these Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Subwhales. They are adorable little sandwiches! If you prefer to eat poultry rather than red meat, these Loaded Italian Chicken Sandwiches from Bev Cooks were amazing!
