This week, I’m sharing some of my favorite ways to use the slow cooker during the summer months.
Today’s recipe is easily one of my top three favorite slow cooker recipes: Slow Cooker Italian Beef.
It takes about 10 minutes to throw together, cooks all day, and gives you tender, flavorful shredded beef that can be served several different ways.
This is the perfect recipe to start before heading to work, running errands, spending the day with your kids, or going to the pool. When you get home, dinner is already waiting.
Why This Is One of My Favorite Slow Cooker Recipes
✅ It’s incredibly easy to prepare. Add a chuck roast, seasonings, beef broth, and pepperoncini to your slow cooker. There’s very little hands-on work involved.
✅ It cooks all day. The beef cooks on low for 8–10 hours, making it perfect for days when you’ll be away from the house. Cooking it low and slow also produces the most tender, juicy shredded beef.
✅ There are so many ways to serve it. Pile it onto toasted hoagie rolls, use it in wraps, or serve it alongside grilled vegetables, potatoes, rice, or a summer salad.
Make the Best Italian Beef Sandwiches
Our favorite way to eat this shredded beef is on toasted hoagie rolls with melted provolone cheese.
Toast the rolls first so they don’t become soggy. Add the shredded beef and provolone, then place the sandwiches under the broiler until the cheese melts.
Finish them with extra pepperoncini or giardiniera. You can also serve some of the cooking liquid on the side for dipping.
I’ve had mine for years and use it every week. The programmable settings are especially helpful for recipes like this that cook all day while I’m working or away from the house.
I also use glass meal prep containers to portion the cooked beef for quick meals during the week.
Summer days can be just as busy as the rest of the year. Recipes like this let dinner cook in the background so you don’t have to stop everything and start cooking at the end of the day.
