Ingredients

3 to 4 pounds boneless beef roast such as chuck or rump
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning blend
0.7 ounce dry Italian dressing mix
1 ounce au jus mix
1 cup beef broth
1 cup jarred pepperoncini peppers plus more for serving
4 hoagie rolls
8 Provolone cheese slices

Instructions

Place the roast in the slow cooker.
Sprinkle the Italian dressing mix, au jus mix, and beef broth. Pour the mixture over the roast in the crockpot.
Add the pepperoncini peppers to the crockpot, including the liquid from the jar.
Cook on low heat for 8 to 10 hours or until the beef is tender and falling apart. This recipe can also be cooked on high for 6 hours.
Using two forks, shred the beef in the crockpot, mixing it well with the cooking liquid.
Toast the hoagie rolls and top each one with a generous scoop of the beef mixture. I used about 1 cup of beef for each sandwich.
If desired, top each sandwich with 2 slices of provolone cheese and place it under a broiler for 30 seconds or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve with additional pepperoncini peppers and the jus on the side for dipping.

Notes

Using slow cooker liners to line your insert makes clean-up a snap once dinner is finished.
If you’re not ready to eat, you can leave the crockpot on warm for an additional hour or so if needed.
Keep a close eye on the cheese while under the broiler, as it can quickly turn from golden brown to burnt.
