CrockPot Italian Beef

This is one of my favorite recipes. I've made it countless times. I adapted it from several other recipes. So easy and so good! Always a crowd-pleaser.

List of Ingredients

3 -4 lb. chuck or rump roast -- trimmed of fat
1 package dry Good Seasons Italian salad dressing mix -- zesty or the regular
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 of a 16 oz. jar pepperoncini peppers -- including juice (or more to taste)
1 can beef broth -- (or 1 to 2 cups hot water mixed with a teaspoon or two of beef flavored Better than Bouillon)--or more if needed
fresh ground pepper, garlic powder, etc. -- optional
favorite cheese (cheddar, colby/jack, mozzarella, provolone, etc.)
kaiser rolls


Recipe

Mix all ingredients together in a slow cooker or crockpot. Cook all day on low (or #3 in a slow cooker).

When meat is done, shred it and put back in its juices.

Serve on warm kaiser buns (toast if desired). Top with favorite cheese--cheddar, colby/jack, mozzarella/cheddar, etc. Warm in the microwave if cheese needs to be melted.

Can also top with sauteed onions, green peppers, and mushrooms if desired.

NOTES : This is a very forgiving recipe. If roast is large add another pkg. of Italian salad dressing mix and more beef broth. I usually use about a 3 lb. roast. Using more broth will leave you with more juices to dip your sandwich in. You can use less peppers, too.

If I'm just making this for the 3 of us, I just use about 1 1/2 lbs. of stew meat and cut all the other ingredients in half.

I have doubled this for a large group and started cooking it about midnight the night before I was going to serve it.
