Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sandwiches

I get so excited about sharing certain recipes, and this slow cooker Italian beef recipe is one of them. It makes such zesty, flavorful and tender Italian beef sandwiches. They’re irresistible!

While I do enjoy regular roast beef sandwiches, they don’t have “zing”, and I love me some zing. It’s safe to say everyone else does too since I never seem to have leftovers of this.

Throw everything in a slow cooker and let the seasonings cook into the beef for hours. Before serving, you’ll stir in the pièce de résistance -deli-sliced mild pepper rings.

They’re soooo good, and they bring the ‘ka-pow’ to this slow cooker Italian beef recipe.

Don’t be surprised if this crockpot Italian beef recipe becomes a family favorite at your house too.
