Dads Italian Beef Poor Boys Recipes

Steps:

• 1. At the beginning of the day, place roast in large Crock Pot with chunked onions, garlic, pepper and Italian seasoning and about 2 cups of water, and the juice from the pepperocini peppers. I've sliced the meat in thin slices prior to cooking, but I like the texture of the meat when pulled apart, and less work.
• 2. Cook on med-low most of the day until the roast starts falling apart and will easily pull apart with a fork. 8-9 hours until meat pulls apart with a fork.
• 3. Remove meat from Crock Pot, saving all the drippings.
• 4. In seperate bowl, mix the gravy packets with the water as directed; put meat back in crock pot with the drippings, the gravy mix, stir well and let simmer about 1/2 hour.
• 5. Tear apart meat with forks (shredding) and put it into the pot as you are tearing apart the meat. Discard all fatty parts.
• 6. Once meat is in the juices (should thicken up with the gravy packets) let cook about another hour.
• 7. Serve on harder long rolls...I prefer a French type, crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. The bread soaks up the gravy. It's especially good with some shredded mozzarella or provolone on the sandwich... serve the pepperocinis on the side or in the sandwich.
• 8. *A little more flavorful version is to put in the peppers (stems removed) during the cooking process.

Steps:

• Place roast in crock-pot with water to cover, about 1-inch.
• Mix ingredients and place over roast.
• Cook on low 12 to 14 hours.
• Separate with fork and serve on buns or bread.

Steps:

• Place the roast into a slow cooker, and season with Italian dressing mix. Pour in the water. Cover, and cook on High for 6 to 7 hours. During the last hour, shred the meat with two forks - if it does not shred easily, cook longer. Add the peppers, and as much of the juice as you like for additional flavor. Serve on buns.
