3lb chuck roast, trimmed of visible fat and cut into large hunks

1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix

8oz pepperoncini pepper slices + splash of juice, plus extra for serving

8oz Giardiniera drained, plus extra for serving

14.5oz can beef broth

provolone cheese slices

hoagie buns

 

Fill a 5.5 - 6 quart crock pot halfway with chuck roast, then top with salad dressing mix. Lift up chuck roast pieces to get broth underneath, then add pepperoncini peppers with a splash of juice, Giardiniera, and beef broth. Cover and cook on low for 9 hours, or until the meat shreds easily with a fork. Return the meat to the crock pot and cook on low for another hour.

Split the buns in half, then top with the shredded meat mixture and provolone cheese slices. If desired, top with additional pepperoncini peppers and Giardiniera before serving.
