Italian Beef Sandwiches

Another thumbs up from the hubby on dinner! This smelled amazing while cooking and tasted just as good. I definitely don't recommend leaving it for longer than 8 or 9 hours on low. I left mine in for almost 11 and it wasn't as tender as I would have liked. Hubby ate the leftovers for lunch the next day!

adapted from AllRecipes

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 8-9 hours
Servings: 6-8

Ingredients
3 cups low sodium beef broth
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
2 packages dry Italian dressing mix
2 1/2 lb chuck roast
Hoagie buns (not pre-sliced)
Sliced Provolone cheese

Directions
Place the roast in the Crockpot. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot, starting with the dry ingredients (except bread and cheese).

Turn the Crockpot on low and cook for 8 hours. 30 minutes before you are ready to eat, shred the meat and add it back to the juices. 

Slice the bread open almost completely. Add some meat and top with one slice of cheese. Put under the broiler for a few minutes until cheese is melted. 

Enjoy!
