Italian Beef Sandwiches

Oh yum!  Just the sound of that makes the mouth water, doesn’t it?  That is what happened to me after a regular commenter mentioned it on my blog the other day.  

So, I had to go right out and get the fixin’s for my version of Italian Beef.

• 4 lb. rump roast
• 1 (0.7 oz.) package of Italian Salad Dressing Mix
• 1 tsp. black pepper
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. oregano
• 1 tsp. onion salt
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 3 cups beef broth

1. Place roast in crock-pot. 
2. In a saucepan, combine all other ingredients, stirring well and bringing to a boil.
3. Pour over roast into the crock-pot.
4. Cover and cook on low 10-12 hours or high for about 6 to 8 hours.
5. Shred the meat with a fork.
6. Serve with provolone or swiss cheese on Italian rolls.  Don’t forget to top your sandwich with pepperoncini. 
7. Enjoy with french fries/chips and cottage cheese!

Note:  I wanted this in a hurry and substituted the roast for 2 pounds of thinly sliced deli roast beef.  Prepared it the same way as above, only had it in the crockpot for approx. 4 hours on low.  Also, 2 lbs. fed a family of 6 with NO LEFTOVERS so plan accordingly.
