Ingredients

3 pounds beef chuck roast
3 (1 ounce) packages dry Italian salad dressing mix
1 cup water
1 (16 ounce) jar pepperoncini peppers
8 hamburger buns, split

Instructions

Place the chuck roast in a slow cooker and generously rub the dry salad dressing mix all over it. Pour water around the roast. Cover and cook on High for 5 to 6 hours, or until the meat is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Remove the cooked beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker. Add the pepperoncini peppers and as much of the pepperoncini juice as you prefer for extra flavor and a bit of heat. Cover and continue to cook for an additional hour.
Serve the Italian beef on your favorite buns for a classic and satisfying sandwich.
