Slow Cooker Italian Pepperoncini Beef
Slow Cooker Italian Pepperoncini Beef is a tender shredded beef roast cooked with Italian dressing mix, pepperoncini peppers, and broth. The slow cooking breaks down the beef, allowing it to soak up the tangy, mildly spicy flavors of the peppers and dressing mix. The finished beef is ideal served on sandwich buns topped with melted mozzarella or provolone cheese, combining juicy meat with soft bread and creamy cheese.
