Equipment
- 1 slow cooker
Ingredients
- 2-3 Pound Chuck Roast makes about 4 sub sandwiches
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 yellow onion sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 slices Provolone Cheese
- 4 Hoagie Rolls or Sub Buns
- 2 TBSP softened butter to butter buns
- Pinch garlic salt for the buns
Instructions
- In a slow cooker, add the chuck roast, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, add a bay leaf and Worcestershire sauce to the beef broth, and stir to combine.
- Then, add sliced Onions, and top with beef broth mixture.
- Cover lid, and then cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours.
- Then, take the meat out into a separate bowl, and shred, I like to just use 2 large forks.
- You can throw the bay leaf away at this point, but save the onions and broth for later use.
- Cut your sub buns in half, hamburger style, and butter each cut side, then sprinkle with a bit of garlic salt. Brown in a medium- high skillet buttered side down until browned/toasted.
- Top one side with the shredded meat, then add some of the cooked onions, and lastly, add the slices of Provolone cheese. Leave the top of the sub bun off at this point.
- Broil cheese side up for about 1-3 minutes, or until the cheese is browned, melted, and bubbly.
- Dish out some of the broth, into heat safe bowls, and use to dip the subs in.
- Lastly, Enjoy!
