Hearty and full-flavored, Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Roast and Pepper Hoagie Sandwiches are tender flavorful pieces of beef cooked low and slow in the slow cooker. It doesn’t get any easier than this!
I like using a chuck roast for my slow-cooked roasts. It’s a flavorful and a cheaper cut of meat which is great when feeding a crowd or if you’re on a budget. And, who isn’t on a budget, right? It’s also a tougher cut of meat, so slow cooking is ideal.
Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Roast and Pepper Hoagie Sandwiches
- Big Daddy loves roast beef sandwiches. If you’re not a fan of sandwiches, this shredded beef is equally as tasty when served over rice, mashed potatoes, or quinoa.
- As well, roasted beef is tasty in tacos or quesadillas.
- I almost always choose a boneless chuck roast for my slow-cooked roasts. You can use any of these options: shoulder steak, chuck shoulder pot roast, chuck seven-bone pot roast, beef chuck arm, rump roast or bottom round.
- For my vegetables, I used red and yellow bell peppers and onions. However, yYou can use any color bell pepper that you have on hand or that you prefer.
- Finally, I used a jar of sliced pepperoncini peppers. You can substitute banana peppers or omit them if you don’t like the tang that pickled peppers offer.

A little confused about the amount of beef. Is it two 2-1/2 lb roasts or one 2 to 2-1/2 lb roasts? Thanks. Can’t wait to try it!

One 2 to 2.5 pound roast

This is the absolute best beef I’ve ever made! My husband (who I also call Big Daddy) requests this often. When we have leftovers, I serve it over rice – still amazing. Thanks so much for this recipe. I know I’ll be the hero at the next family pot luck.

So happy to hear it’s a hit! My son started the Big Daddy here and it stuck and we love it 🙂
