It’s that time of year…my crockpot is taking up valuable real estate space on my countertops once again, yours too? 🙂  If you are looking for a quick and hearty dinner tonight, this weekend, or even for your menu next week I’ve got the perfect dish for you.  I received this recipe from a very sweet momma from my Mops group, thank you Michelle!  She brought our family this meal after we had Eloise last summer (along with the recipe) and it has quickly become a family favorite.  The leftovers alone are reason enough for making this dish, I pinky swear you will love it.

XOXO,
This is a fabulous recipe which I have made many times, but I had forgotten just how yummy it was until I saw your photos. Now I am going to look for a sale on beef! The provolone cheese is a new wrinkle for me, but I imagine it makes the sandwiches even more wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing!
This looks fantastic and I have a bunch of cans of beef broth from a case lot sale that need to be used up. PS I voted to go for a hike but it might actually be a walk b/c this weekend is packed. My husband would’ve loved it if I voted for camping. 🙂
Looks yummy, and I have a few roasts in my freezer waiting to be used. Thanks!
I made this today and it was amazing! Thank you!
I always add one bottle of cheap red wine (Two Buck Chuck is great for this. It really ups the flavor. A couple of way that I cut a few calories from this…once the roast is done I remove it from the crock pot, shredding it and putting it in the fridge overnight. I then take the broth and refrigerate it overnight. The next day I remove the layer of fat that has solidified, put the meat back in, and put it back in the crock pot on high for a couple of hours. Works great! You can also take the leftover juice when the meat is gone, freeze it and use it to start the next pot…it onlly gets better with each use.
AMAZING!!! i only used 1/2 the jar of peperocinis, and i used a homemade version of the Italian dressing mix and they were wonderful!! thank you so much for sharing
I made this on Friday and it is incredible!!! I loved, loved LOVED it!!!! Thanks for the recipe!!
Made this for a birthday party and I almost didn’t want to take it because I didn’t want to share–it’s that good!
This one is a keeper, although I did label the crockpot “Spicy Italian Beef”…some Minnesotans can’t handle a little kick. I thought it was WONDERFUL and I’m so glad I found it on Pinterest. 🙂
This was wonderful and definitely a keeper! I almost didn’t want to take it to the birthday party because I didn’t want to share, LOL.
I did label it “Spicy Italian Beef” because some of us Minnesotans can’t handle a little kick, but I thought it was DELICIOUS!
So glad I found it on Pinterest! 🙂
Thank you for your recipe, I cannot wait to try it! I love Italian Beef and miss the great sandwiches we used to get in Chicago!
Sounds delicious! Going to put this in my menu for next week, thanks for the inspiration 🙂

Have this in the crockpot now…can’t wait for dinner!
We make this all the time, especially for family get togethers! Only big variation is instead of beef broth, we use a can of beer, and add water if need be. Turns out great!
This is an awesome recipe!!! I have made it twice and my family LOVES it!!!
