Just 5 ingredients to make your own classic, mouthwatering Crockpot Italian Beef Sandwiches. Serve on French rolls with melted cheese for the full experience!
Crockpot Italian Beef Sandwiches
Living in the Chicago area, there’s lots of amazing restaurants serving up equally amazing Italian Beef. But being ever budget-conscious, I wanted to be able to make some of this amazing-ness at home. With just 5 ingredients, tossed into the slow cooker, you can have your own homemade Crockpot Italian Beef Sandwiches.
These Crockpot Italian Beef Sandwiches are a bit different than traditional ones because the beef is shredded (all my fellow Chicagoans are gasping and fainting). But I promise, PROMISE, the shredding does not affect the flavor and these are truly delicious.
Crockpot Italian Beef Sandwiches recipe calls for a packet of Italian Beef seasoning. The kind I use is called Louie’s Italian Beef seasoning. I’m not sure if it’s a regional thing, so you can check your local grocery store by the seasonings to see if they have it. If they don’t, I do know that Amazon sells Louie’s Italian Beef Seasoning
Topping these Crockpot Italian Beef Sandwiches with gooey melted mozzarella or provolone cheese is a must. Just place the Italian beef on the roll, top with cheese, then broil it in the oven for about a minute, just until the cheese is melted. You can also use the gravy that the Crockpot Italian Beef is cooked in for the au jus. Be sure to stir and ladle from the bottom because the grease from the beef will rise to the top and you don’t want a bowlful of just grease (or maybe you do…)

Looks so delicious! And so easy to make! If I had known this sandwich was this easy to make, I would have made it all the time! And that melting cheese on the top!
Do you use all the juice in the jar of Pepperoncini? Thanks,
Yes, I just dump the whole thing in.
What’s the serving size for this? I’m making these for 15 people and I’m not sure if I should double or triple the recipe.
I can usually make about 8-10 sandwiches from the 3 lbs of meat.
