Delicious! I don’t put the entire can of pepperoncini juice in and instead add some veggie or beef broth. Otherwise it is a little too spicy for me. Very tasty!!!
Brilliant flavor and soooooo easy! Love it, even without the bread
Simple and tasty!
Followed the recipe but this was way to salty for me.
I made it with soy 1/2 cup with water. My kids loved it.
So good and so easy, like, it’s ridiculous. Almost too good to be true.
Super good, incredibly easy. Hard to beat those two things, this could go into regular rotation.
This was awesome! I put the beef, peppers, and garlic in the slow cooker for 8 hours. The recipe wasn’t specific about shredding the beef and then adding it back to the juice and peppers, but that is what we did. Super flavorful with a kick. Will definitely be making this again.
I agree w/ some raters that the 1st time the taste was just ok – not something that really tingled the taste buds. But this time, I added the following: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Salt, Worcestershire Sauce, Two Beef Bullion Cubes, and Diced White Onion. The slow cooker is cooking right now with all of the above.
Followed directions it was very good
Fantastic!!!
This was amazing. I had leftover sirloin steak. The only addition I made was that I added onions to my slow cooker. I made the steak sandwiches into wraps b/c I didn’t have crusty rolls. Used sharp provolone in the wrap with hot sauce. It was amazing!
This made GREAT sandwiches. I followed the recipe with the exception if adding a couple of wedged onions, like others suggested, and it turned out so good. And, it couldn’t have been easier to make.
Great exactly like it is! The entire family loved it and have made it again.
I absolutely love this recipe! I’m not a huge fan of the traditional roast with carrots and potatoes, so this is great to switch it up. I followed the recipe as is, and it’s SO delicious! I do add some extra pepperocini peppers on my sandwich at the end for extra zest! Highly recommend!
I made it for my husband and his buddies for a football game. It was a hit and I will definitely make it again! Easy & flavorful.
wonderful!!!!! as a garlic lover I added about twice the garlic called for
Super easy and delicious for those that like the spice of peppers. This will be a regular busy day dinner.
This recipe was flavorful, although admittedly i didn’t add nearly the amount of peperoncini as recommended in this recipe. Otherwise, this was a good recipe and fun meal.
Followed recipe verbatim. Delish!
My family loves this recipe! We have 5 very busy kiddos ranging from 10 yrs. to 18 yrs. old. I truly appreciate how easy this is to make!! I add beef broth for extra flavor and tenderness. Tastes amazing!
