Slow Cooker Italian Beef Hoagies
Description
This recipe uses a top round beef roast rubbed with a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, Italian salad dressing mix, herbs, and cooked slowly in beef broth and garlic until very tender. After shredding, the beef is returned to the slow cooker with sliced bell peppers and pepperoncinis to infuse flavors further.
The hoagies are assembled by placing a portion of the meat mixture on rolls or bread, topping with thin provolone cheese slices, and optionally broiling briefly to melt the cheese. The remaining cooking liquid is served alongside as a dip, enriching the sandwich with extra moisture and flavor.
