Sometimes you go to the old, tried and true recipes. Because you’re tired. Because you know it will be effortless. Because your gonna be busy in the days to come and want the leftovers. I bring you, Crock Pot Italian Beef.
The three ingredient gourmet dinner!
Crock Pot Italian Beef
Start with your hunk of meat. Grab a roast. Any roast. It can be an arm roast, round, rump, sirloin. Doesn’t matter. Grab some Italian dry seasoning mix and a beer. Don’t have a beer, try a jar of banana pepper rings, juice and all!
Put the roast, frozen or thawed, into the crock pot. Pour the entire beer over top.
Pour one to two packages of Italian seasoning mix over top and into beer.
I usually do one packet per two pounds of meat. Walk away and let cook overnight or for several hours on high.
It should look something like this when you come back to it. Cut, rip, tear apart then.
Remove any fat or bones that may be in the roast now. Make your dog happy. And then let it do its thing for a little longer. If you cooked it overnight and this is where you are at before you left for work, put the crock pot on low. If you want to eat in three hours, keep it on high.
And when you come back to it once more, give it a good stir and enjoy. There are no rules on how to eat it. My kids like it very different.
With cheese.
And loved by the kids!
Makes the Princess happy.
On Hawaiian bread.
For my Boo.

A working mom of two very active teenagers. My husband and I gave up running the 80-cow dairy farm that also included a couple of hundred acres of corn and soybeans to both work to support the agricultural industry. We still have about 20 head of dairy heifers and cows to help my kids appreciate the effort it takes to raise livestock. I consider myself a foodie as I love cooking and experimenting with recipes. My family just wishes I would make the same thing twice. Find my other blog, FarmWifeDrinks.com for all things cocktails.

Oh my…that Italian Beef Sandwich looks so good. Thank you for sharing your recipe and hosting us today. Your children are precious! You have a great week!
I'm with Boo though I do like the thin bread…when's lunch?
I just put this together in my slowcooker, although I didn't have the Good Seasonings mix, just used Italian seasoning, dried onions, fennel.
I'll get a pic up on my blog when it's finished tonight! With a link to yours, of course!
This is something that I am absolutely going to try. I just showed my husband this recipe and he said I have to make it 🙂 Thanks!
I'm running to the kitchen to pour a can of beer over my rump….roast that is 😉
This looks really, really good and I will be cooking this….this week. Totally our type of thing for supper.
That is going on the next meal plan. Looks so good and the leftovers could be used a number of ways!
So here I go changing up one of your recipes again! I didn't have any roasts left (we get new beef Wed.) so I decided to use a Round Steak since we aren't a big fan of round steak on the grill. I'm sure it will turn out fine though! Thanks for the idea (at least we helped each other out with the idea early in the weekend!!)
This looks awesome! I have a roast in the freezer that I have been waiting to use on the right recipe, and I am all about the crockpot. I will definitely be returning for another Meat Monday! Wonderful idea to spread the good word of beef.

Yep, a round steak worked just fine! Very yummy!!
You have the best crockpot ideas! I made your pork chop with apples and stuffing the other night and it was fabulous! Keep them coming—I am a busy girl, the crockpot is my best friend!
This looks so easy but so delicious. Love the Italian idea. By the way, I'm holding a giveaway on my blog for Orglamix Organic makeup and you're welcome to come by and enter. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2010/12/orglamix-organic-mineral-makeup-review.html
i would love that with polenta and risotto! I can actually taste the juice from the crock pot.. well done!!
I know this was posted almost 2 years ago, but if you are still here I have questions. You did not add any water? What if the bottle of beer doesn’t cover the meat? Also I could not find the packet that you had so I googled italian seasoning and just threw some things together. I am a little worried about having it on high for too long, what is the worst that will happen? Because that will happen to me. lol
Thanks for the “easy” receipe (I dont cook)
Addams 16 oz jar of pepperoni I peppers and a couple of beef billion cubes for a more authentic Chicago stle Italian beef!
