👨‍🍳 How to

Stir to combine, cover, and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until meat is tender and easy to shred
Once cooked, shred or slice beef in the crockpot and mix with the juices
Toast hoagie rolls if desired, then fill each with beef mixture
Top with provolone cheese and place under the broiler for 2–3 minutes until melted and bubbly
Serve warm with chips, fries, or a side salad

🧀 Mix-ins

Add sautéed mushrooms for earthiness
Use spicy banana peppers or jalapeños for heat
Mix in garlic aioli or horseradish sauce before serving
Top with crispy onions or crushed potato chips for crunch

✅ Recipe Tips

Slice meat thin for the best texture—partially freezing the roast helps
Don’t skip the broiling step if you want melty, gooey cheese
Toast buns for extra crunch and to prevent sogginess
Add more broth or use a slotted spoon depending on how saucy you want it

📦 Storage

Refrigerate leftover meat in a sealed container for up to 4 days
Reheat in the microwave or skillet with a splash of broth to keep it juicy
Freeze cooked meat (without veggies) for up to 2 months for future meals
