Italian Beef Sandwiches

Italian Beef Sandwiches

Italian beef sandwiches are one of my favorite crock pot dinners.  My grandfather loved these too, so I think of him every time I prepare this recipe. Note: I often prepare this as a freezer meal.  Then I just thaw everything in the freezer bag 48 hours in advance of cooking and throw it in the crock pot.

Ingredients:

2 pound beef chuck roast fat trimmed

1 red bell pepper sliced

1 green bell pepper sliced

1 white onion sliced

1 cube vegetable or beef bouillon soup base

1 tablespoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons Italian seasoning or Bruschetta Blend mix

1 cup water

½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Sliced provolone cheese

Buns, wraps, etc… for serving

Directions:

  1. Add sliced peppers, onions, chuck roast, bouillon cube, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and water to a crock pot.
  2. Cook on high 4-6 hours or on low 8-10 hours.
  3. Remove beef from crock pot.  Slice.  Then return to the crock pot.
  4. Mix garlic powder and Greek yogurt in a small bowl.
  5. To serve use a slotted spoon to remove beef, peppers, and onions from the crock pot and place on buns/wraps.  Top with provolone cheese and garlic aioli.  Drizzle on liquid from the crock pot if desired.
