This tender, flavorful Italian beef is so easy to make. Slow cooked for hours in the crockpot, it’s sure to become a family favorite.
Ingredients
3 lb bottom round beef roast
2 pkgs dry Italian salad dressing mix
1 cup water
1 16-oz jar pepperoncini peppers (can substitute milder, sweeter peppers if desired)
Sandwich rolls of choice (I used bolillo rolls)
Directions
1. Place beef roast into the crockpot.
Add 1 cup water and the 2 packages of Italian salad dressing mix.
3. Cook on low setting 10-12 hours.
4. A couple of hours before serving, take two forks and gently pull apart the beef roast. It should be tender enough so that this is easy. Add the jar of peppers (including liquid) into the crockpot. Mix the peppers into the shredded beef and continue cooking on low until you’re ready to serve dinner.
5. Toast sandwich buns under broiler and then serve with a generous amount of Italian beef.
Enjoy!
Love this recipe, it is probably my most use crockpot recipe.
Yummy! 🙂
You had me at the peppers, LOL! Yum!!!!
Oooh, that looks good! I want to make a big crock-pot full of it for a football party!
Your picture makes me want to make some dinner!
Um…Yum!!!
OK, that looks wonderful. I never would have thought to use the yellow pepper rings in there. I bet the juices gave it a nice flavor. I will be trying this!
That looks good! Easy to. I love recipes like this because it’s ready when I get home from work.

Oh this sounds and looks so delicious!! Best of all it seems like it is pretty easy to do and that is the kind of recipes I like!!
Mmmm Italian Beef is one of my favorites. I’ve never heard of using Italian dressing to flavor it though.
I’m actually hoping to try a more “Chicago Style” version this week.
I always love new slow cooker recipes!
Please come to my house and make this for me. I beg of you…

That looks so tasty!
Oh my gosh, that looks delicious… I could eat those peppers by themselves.
Looks good.

This looks and sounds so yummy, and I love any excuse to use my crock pot. I love that it has so few ingredients!
I have been living off my crock pot and grill this summer. Usually I use the crock more in the fall-winter, but it’s quick yummy sandwiches like this that got me to convert to the warmer months too!!
This looks GREAT… I have some left over pork that I’m going to try this with!!!! (sans bread of course, thank you Dr. Atkins)
yum! Yes please!!
That looks tasty. Gotta love the crockpot.
yum! I love crockpot recipes for the fall/winter- they just seem so cozy!
I am horrible in the kitchen but I think this is something even I could pull off… and impress my husband! I’m going to give it a try.
YUM! I love anything made in a slow cooker!
Yes! Thank you! We’re taking on a bunch of new activities this Fall and I’ve been wanting some new slow cooker recipes to make life easier at dinner time. Yea…I’ll be trying this soon.
Oh yes!! a girl after my own taste buds… never thought to use Italian dressing
This sounds good and like even I could do it!
I did something like that this week, but Greek style. Yours looks prettier though.
Oh yum! I’ve made something similar with chicken, but I’ve never tried it with beef. I’ll try it soon. 🙂
I like anything Italian!
I love the pics! I am a terrible cook but when I see pics it helps! I am also petrified of cooking meat other than chicken and ground beef but I know I need to venture out!
Crockpots are so under rated. I love cooking with them. The tender pull apart meat is so yummy. I have to try this recipe!
Oh sounds so easy! Going to have to make this soon
I’m going to have to try this! I need more easy and semi-healthy crock pot recipes since I’m working so much now.
OMG yum! This would have been perfect for my football party post. Ok, now I’m debating getting an Italian Beef from the place up the street because it’s closer than the store. And I’m lazy. Have a great weekend, Liz!
I make Italian Chicken all the time. Served over rice, or pasta.
Looks SO good!! I have to try this next week!
WM
mmmm, easy and delish, just my style!
That looks really yummy.
That looks so darn yummy. I’m hungry!
Um, yummy! You could send some my way, ya know.
That looks DELECTABLE!
I love getting new recipes!! But especially ones involving a crockpot. 🙂
This looks really good!
It’s definitely slow cooker season, isn’t it? My family used to always make Italian beef when I was a kid and my favorite part was eating the soggy bun. 🙂
That sounds delicious! Now if only someone could make a delicious tasting gluten-free bun, I would be in business! 🙂
My mouth actually started watering as I was looking at the pictures. This looks good. And I love anything spicy!
Wow. Things look really different from the last time I was here. Nice decorating.
I love a good sandwich. Seriously. They’re like the perfect food. Everything contained in a nice portable package.
I just broke out the crockpot this week after it’s summer hiatus. This sounds great!
Will you come cook for me please????? I’m sick . so sick and I’d eat anything.
Sounds really yummy, BV. I have copied it down. Thanks!
Looks FABULOUS!! Do you know how to do pulled pork? Trying to find a good recipe……
Lynn
I love this recipe!!! I love everything about it! Now, your roll looks AMAZING too…I want to make it and use THAT kind of roll! YUM!
Though I don’t eat meat, I’d never dis anything Italian…and this looks great.
Sounds tasty. I recently ordered Portillo’s Beef from Taste of Chicago and it was delicious. We grew up with Carm’s Italian Beef sandwiches in Chicago.
Ok, I’m gonna show my intelligence with this question 🙂
Is there a difference between a crock pot and a slow cooker?
The hubby would like this one
I automatically drool like a Pavlovian pooch at the sound of the word “beef.” Thank you for sharing this recipe!!! I’m dying to try it on Sunday when the weekend is winding down and I’ve completely exhausted myself by doing all the nothing I can : )
I am so making that…I LOVE peppercinis and roast!
Wow, yummy! Thanks for an easy yet tasty recipe!
Yum! We would love this. Hubs and I love anything with roast!
Oh my heck! I’m salivating! And it’s not pretty! hee hee

Wow!!!!!I have to step up my Italian beef game. I use the one in the frozen container and put it in tje crockpot. I.gotta try this!!!!!!!!
so did you make enough to share?
Oh my gosh now that is my taste totally!! We are moving on Thursday having a big neighborhood sale tomorrow, barely even ready. I love cooking something in the crock out in the garage, people linger longer. I love pepperoncini!! I have never used Italian dressing in the mix either! Thank you for the great recipe.
Yum! bring on the slow cookers!
But -ahem- not the snow!
🙂
