Making Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2-3 lbs Beef Chuck Roast, thinly sliced (partially frozen roast is easier to slice)
• 1 large Onion, thinly sliced
• 2 Bell Peppers (green or a mix), thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Onion Powder
• 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
• 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 1 cup Beef Broth
• 8-10 Sandwich Rolls (hoagie rolls or your favorite)
• 8-10 slices Provolone Cheese (or cheese of your choice)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Sear the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the sliced beef in batches until browned on all sides. This step adds a ton of flavor!
2. Layer in the Slow Cooker: Place the sliced onions and bell peppers in the bottom of your slow cooker. Top with the seared beef.
3. Season and Add Broth: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the beef and vegetables. Pour the beef broth over everything.
4. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is very tender and easily shreds.
5. Shred the Beef: Once the beef is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the slow cooker.
6. Add Cheese: Place slices of provolone cheese over the shredded beef and cover the slow cooker to allow the cheese to melt (about 5-10 minutes).
7. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon the cheesy beef mixture into your sandwich rolls.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious slow cooker Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches!

Tips and Variations

• Cheese Options: Provolone is traditional, but feel free to use cheddar, American, or even a cheese sauce.
• Pepper Options: Experiment with different colored bell peppers or add some jalapenos for a spicy kick.
• Bread Options: While hoagie rolls are classic, you can use ciabatta rolls or even pretzel rolls for a different texture.
• Toppings: Consider adding sauteed mushrooms or a dollop of mayonnaise or horseradish sauce to your sandwich.
• Freezer Friendly: Leftover cooked beef mixture can be frozen for later use. Just thaw and reheat before assembling the sandwiches.
• Easy Clean Up: Use a slow cooker liner for even easier cleanup.
