This recipe is one of my favorites from my favorite cook books Don’t” Panic – Dinner’s in the Freezer: Great-Tasting Meals You Can Make Ahead. I made a few changes to the recipe to make it easier for me to cook. It came out great. This is spicy so I would not call it kid friendly but sometimes I need a break from tacos and pasta dishes. LOL! Here is the recipe.
2-3 lb. roast
2 onions, sliced
1 green pepper, sliced
2 16 oz jars sliced Pepperoncini pepper with juice
1/2 cup water
1 t. ground pepper
Cut roast into 4 pieces. Place into crock pot. Add next 4 ingredients and sprinkle with pepper on top. Cook in crock pot 5-6 hours. When meat has finished cooking remove and shred. Return meat to crock pot on warm and cook for 1 hour longer. Cool mixture and divide into meal size potions and freeze.
When ready to eat. Thaw meat and reheat. Top French rolls with Italian beef and a slice of Provolone cheese. Place under broiler until cheese melts. Serve.

That looks so yummy
That sounds so tasty, and looks even better. I can't wait to try this one!
I love the Don't Panic cookbook too. It's my favorite freezer cookbook at my library. Maybe I should ask for it or their new one for Christmas.
This looks so good. I really like to try recipes when I can see what they look like first! Anyone else? Thank you so much for taking the time to do that Cindy:-) I recently got the ingredients for this recipe fairly cheap, so I will be making it soon. I am a fan of spicy! I will come back and post after I make this for my family of 5
I do a modified Italian Beef recipe…
3 Lb beef roast
1/4 cup brown sugar
24 oz bottle Italian Dressing
Put it all in the crock pot and cook 6-8 hours. About 1 hr before serving, remove beef from the crock pot and shred it. Put shredded beef back into crock pot and mix in 2 Tbsp Italian seasonings. Simmer and serve on buns, hoagie buns, or any bread you have in the house. Sometimes I add onions or cheese if its on hand. Whatever I have left, I freeze for another meal. This usually makes at least 2 meals for my family of 5.
what type of roast do you use?
Jennifer, What ever I can find a deal on. I like roast with very little fat.
