Get ready to fall in love with Italian beef.

3-4 pounds of chuck roast Zesty Italian seasoning Water Hoagie roll White cheese of choice
Rinse and dry your cut of chuck roast.
1
Season the beef with the zesty Italian seasoning, making sure to get both sides of the beef.
2
Add the piece of meat to the slow cooker along with ½ cup of water.
3
Let the meat cook in the slow cooker on high for 6 hours or on low for 12 hours.
4
When the cooking time has finished, shred the meat using a fork.
5
It should easily come apart and look ropey or stringy. That is the texture you are aiming for.
6
Toast the hoagie and add the beef and slices of cheese.
7
Serve while the beef is warm so the cheese will get nice and melty.
8
The seasoning mixture is what takes Italian beef into a class of its own.
Once the beef is seasoned, it is then cooked for six hours. I know, it seems like a long time to wait for some meat, but trust me on this one. It will easily be worth the wait.
