BELLA'S CROCK POT ITALIAN BEEF



Bella's Crock Pot Italian Beef image

Bella's was a restaurant in our town, and we loved to eat their Italian Beef subs. They had to close due to Bella's health, but after a lot of begging, she gave us the recipe. This smells so good while it is cooking. It can be served over pasta (first thicken sauce with a bit of cornstarch), open-face over toast, on a sub bun, or on a big pile of garlic mashed potatoes...

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time P1DT10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 -4 lbs boneless beef roast (I use whatever is on sale and trim some but not all excess fat)
1 (1 ounce) package Good Seasonings Italian salad dressing mix
1 finely chopped onion (optional)
1 finely chopped green pepper (optional)
1 (6 ounce) jar pepperoncini peppers (optional)

Steps:

  • Place roast in crock pot.
  • Add onion and/or peppers if you like.
  • Sprinkle dry mix over the top of all.
  • Cook on low for 24 hours. (Note: NO liquids at all. The moisture stays trapped in the crockpot as long as you don't open it up.).

Tips:

- Use a Dutch oven or slow cooker that is large enough to accommodate the roast and all of the ingredients. - Brown the roast in a skillet over medium heat before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry. - Add plenty of vegetables to the slow cooker. This will help to add flavor and nutrients to the dish. - Use a good quality Italian seasoning blend. This will help to give the dish an authentic Italian flavor. - Allow the roast to cook on low for at least 8 hours. This will help to ensure that the meat is tender and fall-apart. - Serve the Italian beef on toasted bread or rolls. You can also top it with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, peppers, or onions.

Conclusion:

Bella's Crock Pot Italian Beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight. The roast is cooked until it is tender and fall-apart, and the sauce is flavorful and rich. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
