Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sandwiches from 5DollarDinners

This kind of sandwich makes me drool.

The beef gets to hang out in the slow cooker all day, soaking in all the amazing flavors. Then you shred up the beef with the peppers and onions…serve it on a bun with some cheese. Drool. DROOL.

So good. Just so good.

I didn’t add this in the recipe, but you could even run these under the broiler to really get the cheese nice and melty! (Melty, that’s word right?!?)

Hope you love this Italian Beef Sammie as much as I did!
