Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 packet Dry Italian salad dressing mix
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Jarred pepperoncini peppers with juice
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 Hoagie rolls
• 6 Provolone slices

Directions

Step 1

Place the beef chuck roast directly into the slow cooker.

Step 2

Pour the beef broth over the roast, ensuring it is mostly submerged.

Step 3

Sprinkle the dry Italian salad dressing mix over the meat evenly.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, jarred pepperoncini peppers (including the juice), dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set to cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.

Step 6

Once cooked, carefully remove the roast and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker to soak up the juices.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Slice the hoagie rolls, place them on a baking sheet, and layer each with shredded beef and a slice of provolone cheese.

Step 8

Bake the sandwiches for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and the rolls are slightly toasted.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Optionally, spoon some extra cooking liquid from the slow cooker over the sandwiches for added flavor. Enjoy!
