As a mother of 3, I LOVE easy meals that take few ingredients and the least amount of effort to put them together. Enter in Easy Crockpot Italian Beef Sandwiches. Probably the simplest recipe I know. The hardest part about this recipe is putting it on a bun and eating it. Yeah.
First, get your crockpot out and place a chuck roast in. (If you want to use a crockpot liner, do so!)
Next, empty jars of sliced banana peppers over the meat, liquid and all. I use 2 – 16 oz jars in mine. It just needs to be enough to cover the meat with peppers.
Last, cook on low for 6 – 8 hours or until you can easily shred the roast. Shred the meat and mix with the peppers and serve!
We serve our Italian Beef Sandwiches on buns with mozzarella cheese sprinkled on top! MMMMM!! Enjoy!!

I presume that other vegetables can work too? with or without the peppers. (peppers will be going in mine.) I am thinking onions and mushrooms and maybe(????) cream of xxx soup too.
The liquid in the peppers is quite acidic (it helps soften the meat) and can be kind of tart. I think onions would go great, and the mushrooms could be good too as long as you use the correct ones. Not all mushrooms are created equal.
And let me know what you think if you add the cream of xxx soup! I’m curious now and might have to experiment with it myself!
Cheers!
