Pepperoncini Italian Beef Roast
This recipe comes from Vickie's kitchen and takes just 5 ingredients. It's a good one to keep on hand for those mornings when you can toss dinner in the slow cooker and go. Even though it calls for peppers, the flavor is mild enough for the whole family!
4-lb. beef chuck roast
8-oz. jar pepperoncini peppers, drained and juice reserved
1 onion, sliced
2 1-oz. pkgs. au jus mix
8 to 10 hoagie rolls, split
Place roast in a slow cooker; pour reserved pepper juice over top. Cover and cook on low setting for 6 to 8 hours, until very tender. Remove roast and shred with 2 forks; stir back into liquid in slow cooker. Add peppers and onion. Blend au jus mix with a little of the liquid from slow cooker until dissolved. Pour over beef; add water if needed to cover roast. Cover and cook for an additional hour. Serve beef spooned onto rolls. Serves 8 to 10.
