We had a most fantastic weekend. My mom came into town and we did one of our favorite pass times…shopping. Thrift shopping always makes for a great day doesn’t it? To top it off, my oldest had her very first soccer game. She has been looking forward to that moment for weeks. She did so good! I’ve never been so proud of her.
Not too long ago, I went on a Crockpot recipe mission. I have recipes that I’ve been making for years, but sometimes you just want to try something new and different. The Simple Dollar shared a few low ingredient recipes that caught my eye. This Shredded Beef Recipe sounded easy, fairly cheap, and right up my alley. So I put my own little twist on it and came up with these really tasty Italian Beef Sandwiches.
In thinking up a few changes to the shredded beef, I decided to make it a panini-style sandwich by adding provolone cheese and then popping it on the grill and flattening it.The most expensive ingredient was the brisket. I got the hoagie rolls on sale at Kroger and of course the green bell pepper was less than $1. The provolone cheese was around $2.99 at Aldi.
It was a hit around here and I hope that you like them too!
Adapted from The Simple Dollar‘s recipe.
Use your slow cooker to create yummy Italian Beef Sandwiches.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef brisket
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 1/2 cups beef broth or beef stock
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 chopped red onion
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, sliced into long strips
- 6 Slices Provolone Cheese
- Spray Butter
- 6 Hoagie Buns
Method
- Place all ingredients in the crockpot except for cheese and buns. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
- In the last 30 minutes, shred the beef and place back in crockpot.
- Place cheese on each bun and then place shredded beef. Spray with butter spray and grill on George Foreman or panini press until toasted.
- Serve with leftover sauce/broth from cockpot.
Notes
If you like your bell peppers a little crunchy, wait until later on in the cooking time to place them in the crockpot.
