Ingredients

  • 7 lbs boneless beef chuck roast
  • 2 envelopes Good Seasons Italian dressing mix .7 oz each
  • 2 1-oz envelopes Au Jus gravy mix
  • 1 tablespoon Lawry's seasoned salt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups water
  • Toppings for serving, such as: hot and/or sweet peppers, provolone cheese, mayo, mustard, shredded lettuce, sliced onions, pickle slices

Instructions

  • Cut beef into large chunks, trimming away any large pieces of fat.  Place in a slow cooker.
  • In a bowl, whisk together seasoning packets, seasoned salt, black pepper and water.
  • Pour liquid mixture over beef and toss gently to combine.  Cook on low setting overnight (for 8-10 hours).
  • Remove meat to cutting board and using two forks, shred meat.  Skim fat from juices in slow cooker, return meat to juices and combine.  Keep on low , or transfer to a dutch oven to reheat and serve.    Serve on buns or rolls with plenty of optional toppings.

Notes

  • You can keep the beef in the slow cooker on warm for serving, especially on a buffet table for a party.
  • I cut back on the seasoning salt a bit because I find it a little too salty, but that said, no one else thinks it's too salty.
  • For a crowd, buns or hoagie rolls work best.  Or you can cut a soft and light French bread into 3- to 4-inch sections.
  • I'm going to guess you'll get any where from 18 to 24 sandwiches, maybe even more, it depends on the size and how much meat people pile on!!
  • If you like cheese, I suggest making the sandwich with beef and cheese and popping in the oven to melt the cheese, then add more toppings, as desired.
