Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sandwiches

Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sandwiches are a delicious dinner and are perfect for a party!

We were having friends come over this past weekend for a game night (side not: Oh how I love Pandemic Legacy y’all!) so I decided it was time to try out a new recipe. I wanted something easy since we’d be busy playing our board game, plus I wanted something that would be great for a crowd with the Super Bowl coming up. Let me tell you – these Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sandwiches turned out better than I imagined! (Here is my slow cooker if you are looking!)

Italian beef is a Chicago staple that Bryan did not grow up eating. I, however, had Italian Beef at almost every graduation party I have ever attended because everyone got it from Portillos Catering. Homemade is always better though and it really did not take a lot of work. I tossed everything into the crock pot, added the meat and let it cook all day. Then I just needed to shred the meat when it was done cooking which only takes a few minutes.
