I also really like this crockpot. Now, it’s not programmable but it’s so handy! It has the feature where you can lock the lid down.

We love using the meat for sandwiches or sliders. It is super tasty and just really amazing.
Leftovers are delicious and sometimes I make extra just to purposely have leftovers later. 🙂
Tips to make quick Italian beef sandwich recipe:
If you don’t have the dried Italian seasoning packet, substitute 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning and 1 tablespoon of garlic salt. The subs will still taste amazing!
Sometimes, I throw in a few red peppers. I have even used banana peppers instead of pepperoncini peppers. You can’t go wrong with these Crock Pot Italian Beef Sandwiches.
I could eat the shredded meat by itself. The meat is that good! So tender and packed with flavor.

Store the leftover beef in an airtight container in the fridge. This is perfect to enjoy for a quick lunch or dinner another night.

I have a quick question…I have a large (32 ounce) jar of pepperoncinis so how much of the liquid from the jar do I put in the recipe? (btw…this recipe is making me drool & can’t wait to try it)
This is truly a great and easy recipe. Thanks for sharing it!
Thank you!
i can not eat spicy,can you use roasted peppers?
Yes, I think that would be delicious!
Do you think chicken would be a good sub for the beef?
I haven’t tried that yet but I think it would be delicious! If you try it, let us know know how it turns out. Thank you!
It was great with boneless chicken breast!
Great to hear! Thank you so much for sharing – I’m going to have to try that!
This was sooo delicious and easy! I didn’t have pepperoncinis, but I will be sure to add them next time. We served with mashed potatoes and green beans. Some in my family did an open face sandwich. Huge hit! Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m so glad it was a huge hit with you and your family!
This was very good. It was so easy to make. Thank You!!
My husband loved this and it was so easy to make
I am always looking for slow cooker recipes that my family will enjoy. It is hard to find ones that aren’t stew. This was a hit with everyone.
Loved the simplicity of the recipe and my husband loved the zesty attitude of the dish! Will be making this again
Do you drain the liquid from the peppers?
No I do not drain the liquid from the peppers.
I’m constantly on the lookout for family-friendly slow cooker recipes. It’s difficult to come across ones that aren’t stew. This was a big hit with the crowd.
Looks delicious! Why the full stick of butter? Is it salted butter? Could I substitute something in place of the butter? Thanks
You can eliminate the butter if you want.
