With tender shredded beef, lots of pickled vegetables, and ooey-gooey melted cheese, you’ll love how easy these are to make – and how delicious they taste!   Meggan’s notes Born and raised in the Midwest, I grew up eating Chicago-style Italian beef sandwiches after a ride south on the Amtrak.The meat is fork-tender and juicy with a kick of spice from pepperoncinis or a spoonful of giardinera, a pickled vegetable blend you find often in the Windy City.As a classically-trained chef, I love to bring restaurant creations to your home kitchen, and this time I leaned on my slow cooker for ease and convenience.

The secret is to brown the roast before you add it to the slow cooker.That browned, caramelized beef infuses the au jus with flavor in a way that slow-cooking alone never could.Add melty cheese if you want to and more spicy pickled veggies.
