Slow Cooker Italian Beef Hoagies
Chuck roast is slow cooked with pepperoncini peppers, onions, garlic, Italian dressing mix and a few other ingredients until it is "fall apart" tender. Then, it's piled onto buttery, cheesy toasted hoagie buns and topped with crunchy relish. A family favorite!
Ingredients
- 5-6 lbs chuck roast
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 5 cloves fresh garlic, minced or chopped
- 16 oz jar pepperoncini peppers
- 1 packet (.7 oz) Italian dressing mix

- 1 tablespoon beef base (Better than Bouillon)
Additional Ingredients
- 8 hoagie buns
- Softened butter (about 1/2 stick)
