Italian Shredded Beef Hoagies

LOVE THESE SANDWICHES SO MUCH.

Sorry, sometimes I just get really excited about delicious food. Especially when it’s super easy to prep (with ingredients that are normal and you probably already have in your pantry.)

Like this one…

Beef roast with tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and seasonings…

Slow cooking the day away, then shred and assemble sandwiches.

SUCH AN EASY MEAL.

And so scrumptious too!
