Description

These Italian beef sandwiches will have your mouth watering! Just throw everything in the crock pot and let it cook all day. They’re great for family meals or big get-togethers.

Ingredients

  • 1 package 2-3 Pounds, Eye Of Round Roast, Or Any Roast That Will Shred Well
  • 1 jar (16 Oz.) Pepperoncinis With Juices
  • 1 bottle (12 Oz. Bottle) Beer, An Amber Draft Preferred
  • 2 envelopes (about 1 Oz. Envelope) Zesty Italian Dressing
  • Sandwich Rolls
  • 1 bottle (6 Oz. Bottle) Horseradish, Deli Style
  • 8 ounces, weight Pepper Jack Cheese Or Monterey Jack Cheese, Sliced

Preparation

Place the beef, pepperoncini, beer, and dressing mix into the crock pot and cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 8 hours. Once cooked, or halfway through cooking, shred the beef with two forks or your tongs and keep it in its juices.

Assemble your sandwiches and make sure you slather the rolls with horseradish before adding the meat and pepperoncini. Next, top with cheese. You can eat it as is, but I prefer to place my sandwich in the oven at about 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes so the cheese is nice and gooey and the bread is nice and crisp!

If you don’t like horseradish, you can always use whatever you like. It tastes just as delicious with mustard or mayo or both! Double the ingredients for large get-togethers.

Enjoy!

This is so good, I don’t think it even needs the bun. I didn’t feel this was spicy at all (I don’t do spicy) Thanks for sharing!

These are awesome!! I swapped out the italian dressing packets for a mixture of my favorite italian herbs because I don’t like the taste of dressing packets – but otherwise these were a huge hit with my whole family. My husband hid the leftovers so that he could be the only one to eat them! The beef does turn out a bit spicy, so if you’re serving to kiddos who are spicy (heat) sensitive (mine loved the taste so much they ended up not minding the heat) maybe cut back on the peppers while cooking?
