Crock Pot Italian Beef Sandwiches are a simple and flavorful slow cooker meal made with chuck roast, Italian seasoning, and tangy pepperoncini. Perfect for game days, busy weeknights, or family dinners.

Ingredients

  • 3–4lb chuck roast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 16oz jar pepperoncini peppers (with juice)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • Hoagie buns or sandwich rolls, for serving
  • Provolone or mozzarella cheese slices, optional

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the chuck roast, then season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on both sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Transfer the roast to a crock pot. Pour in the beef broth and the entire jar of pepperoncini peppers with juice.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
  5. Shred the beef in the crock pot using two forks, then stir to combine with the juices and peppers.
  6. Serve the shredded beef mixture on hoagie buns with cheese if desired. Toast sandwiches under the broiler to melt the cheese, if preferred.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add red pepper flakes or use hot pepperoncini.
  • Leftovers are great for meal prep and freeze well.
  • You can skip searing the meat for a quicker prep, though it adds flavor.
