Equipment

  • Crockpot (slow cooker)
  • Large skillet (optional, for browning)
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Tongs
  • Hoagie rolls or sub sandwich buns

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast thinly sliced or shredded
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 2 green bell peppers thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 6-8 slices provolone cheese
  • 6 hoagie rolls or sub sandwich buns
  • 2 tablespoons butter optional (for toasting rolls)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Crockpot:
  • Place the sliced onion, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, and garlic at the bottom of the crockpot.
  • Add the Beef and Seasoning:
  • Lay the beef chuck roast on top of the vegetables. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
  • Cook the Beef:
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
  • Shred the Beef:
  • Using tongs or two forks, shred the beef directly in the crockpot. Stir to mix it with the peppers, onions, and broth.
  • Toast the Rolls (Optional):
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on the cut sides of the hoagie rolls and toast them in the skillet until golden brown.
  • Assemble the Sandwiches:
  • Spoon the beef mixture onto the bottom halves of the hoagie rolls. Place a slice of provolone cheese on top, then broil the sandwiches in the oven for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese (optional).
  • Serve and Enjoy:
  • Top with the other half of the roll and serve hot.

Notes

Add Mushrooms: Slice and sauté mushrooms and add them to the crockpot for extra flavor.
Switch the Cheese: Try mozzarella, Swiss, or even a sharp cheddar for variety.
Low-Carb Option: Serve the beef and veggies over cauliflower rice or in lettuce wraps instead of rolls.
