Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef roast
• 1 packet French onion soup mix
• 1 cup beef broth
• 6 hoagie rolls
• 6 slices provolone cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: sliced jalapeños or pickles for topping

Here are the simple yet flavorful ingredients waiting to come together in the crockpot.

Directions

1. Lay the beef roast in the bottom of the crockpot.
2. Evenly sprinkle the French onion soup mix over the roast, ensuring it’s well coated.
3. Pour the beef broth around the roast, being careful not to wash away the soup mix.
4. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the meat is fork-tender.
5. Once cooked, remove the roast, shred it using two forks, and return the shredded beef to the crockpot to soak up all the delicious juices.
6. While the beef absorbs the flavor, toast the hoagie rolls until golden and crispy.
7. Stuff each toasted roll with the shredded beef, place a slice of provolone cheese on top, and let it melt slightly from the heat of the meat.
8. Serve with a small bowl of the cooking liquid for dipping. Enjoy every bite!

Tips & Variations
