I start this after dinner the night before and forget it so much that when I get up in the morning I wonder what smell so good! I usually do a quick stir about 12-13 hours into it just so anything thats not in the juice gets mixed. Serve it with Mozzarella cheese on crispy rolls for a really good sandwich thats easy.

CROCK POT ITALIAN BEEF WITH PEPPERONCINI
Wonderful roast for Italian Beef sandwiches. Not for salt restricted diets, but exceptional flavor. The original recipe calls for beef roast and pepperocini only, but I have tweaked it to suit my taste. Try it, you'll love it! (Preparation time does not include cook time.) Also, adjust seasoning to your taste, add onion, mushrooms or whatever you like.

BELLA'S CROCK POT ITALIAN BEEF
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...

Steps:
- Combine the onion soup mix, beef broth (or water), Italian seasoning, and season salt in the bottom of the crock pot. Add the rump roast and cook on high heat all day long for 8 - 10 hours. I make sandwiches with the beef, but it also goes really great over a baked potato! For sandwiches, use your favorite kind of bread or roll. If you want to really pack on the calories add mozzarella cheese.
CROCK POT PO' BOYS (OR ITALIAN BEEF) SANDWICHES

Steps:
- 1. At the beginning of the day, place roast in large Crock Pot with chunked onions, garlic, pepper and Italian seasoning and about 2 cups of water, and the juice from the pepperocini peppers. I've sliced the meat in thin slices prior to cooking, but I like the texture of the meat when pulled apart, and less work.
- 2. Cook on med-low most of the day until the roast starts falling apart and will easily pull apart with a fork. 8-9 hours until meat pulls apart with a fork.
- 3. Remove meat from Crock Pot, saving all the drippings.
- 4. In seperate bowl, mix the gravy packets with the water as directed; put meat back in crock pot with the drippings, the gravy mix, stir well and let simmer about 1/2 hour.
- 5. Tear apart meat with forks (shredding) and put it into the pot as you are tearing apart the meat. Discard all fatty parts.
- 6. Once meat is in the juices (should thicken up with the gravy packets) let cook about another hour.
- 7. Serve on harder long rolls...I prefer a French type, crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. The bread soaks up the gravy. It's especially good with some shredded mozzarella or provolone on the sandwich... serve the pepperocinis on the side or in the sandwich.
- 8. *A little more flavorful version is to put in the peppers (stems removed) during the cooking process.
