Step By Step
1️⃣ Load The Slow Cooker
Place the chuck roast in the slow cooker. Add the Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, minced garlic, banana peppers and juice, beef broth, salt, and pepper.
2️⃣ Let It Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours. The original recipe specifies cooking until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
3️⃣ Shred The Beef
Remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred.
4️⃣ Build The Hoagies
Pile the shredded beef onto hoagie rolls and cover with provolone cheese.
5️⃣ Broil Until Bubbly
Broil on low until the cheese is bubbly and browned. Serve hot.
The Pool-Day Move
Start the slow cooker before everyone heads outside. When dinner smells like it took far more effort than it did, you’ve done August correctly.
No frantic chopping at 6 p.m. No abandoning the pool early. Just hot Italian beef, melted provolone, and a very good excuse to stay in your swimsuit a little longer.
