Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sandwiches

Submitted by HokiesMom

"From Quick Cooking 2004 Since posting this recipe I again made it for supper one night. The tip roast did not turn out tender at all...as a caution I would make this with a chuck roast or other cut of beef that will turn out tender *updated 2/4/08* **Thanks to Internetnut for the missing ingredients - don't know how I skipped those but she is correct*** Added 2/20/09"

delish! This was so easy to make -- actually easy enough my husband made it! When i walked in the house after work, the whole house smelled SO good! It tasted as good as it smelled too! I used some french rolls which we toasted under the broiler and put some swiss cheese on. Thanks for posting! Made for Photo Tag.

Very good sandwiches which we enjoyed. i used a rump roast and instead of beer vegetable broth (outof beef broth). Couldn't be easier! Thanks for sharing!

I'm not rating this as I haven't tried this recipe. I noticed the measurements for these ingredients were not listed so here they are 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano and 1 tsp dried basil. Hope to try this recipe soon. Thanks for posting. Christine (internetnut)
