This Crock Pot Italian Loose Meat Sandwich recipe has gained QUITE the reputation in this house. We found this recipe in Gooseberry Patch’s new Slow Cooker to the Rescue. I tested it last week and once Mikey tasted it, he immediately said we needed to shoot a cooking show for it.

He absolutely loves them and so he made a cooking show too!

These sandwiches are a bit like Philly Cheese Steak, only they are made with ground meat instead and oh-so yummy!

Ingredients for Crock Pot Italian Loose Meat Sandwiches

  • 1 lb Ground Sausage
  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper- chopped
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper- chopped
  • 1 Small Onion-chopped
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

How to Make Italian Loose Meat Sandwiches in a Crock Pot

  1. Brown sausage and ground beef together  with salt, pepper (and red pepper flakes if desired) until cooked through and then drain.
  2. Mix together peppers and onions in a bowl.
  3. Place 1/3 of peppers and onions in the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker.
  4. Then layer 1/2 of your meat and repeat layers with another 1/3 of peppers, rest of the meat and top with remaining peppers.
  5. Pour dressing on top and cook on low for 6 hours.

    Is it something that freezes well fully cooked? Minus cheese and bread obviously. Can I bag the meat and pepper mixture and freeze it in quarters? I cook for 2.

    Hi Cris and Michael,

    I receive your e-mails and absolutely “Love ‘Em”. Cris, your emails are as fun to read as Michael’s Videos. I read everyone and if I am sitting in front of my computer; I drop whatever I am doing to see what new treats you good folks have sent me. God Bless you folks for giving us amazing recipes and funny (also informative) videos and a most productive and Happy New Year !!

    I bought a Ninja based on your videos and decided this may be one of the most useful Crock Pot (Yes, there are a bunch of “Me Too” Crock Pots), but I still use my Ninja more than my other crock pots.

    Oh!! by the way this Italian sandwich looks amazing, it is on my “short list” for a must make.

    Love You Guys (Platonically of Course)

      Hi Chis, Aunt Lou and Michael,

      Well, I finally made this sandwich and I can tell you, it is a “Winner”. I did violate my Cardinal Rule to “Never Modify a Chef’s Recipe, until I try it as the Chef created it”. I did make one minor change to use Italian Pickled Pepperoncini (it works)!

      Cris, this would make a great Italian Meatloaf (hint, hint 😉 with a few tweaks. If you do an Italian Meatloaf recipe in a Ninja, I will be a very “Happy Camper” !!

      Cris and Michael, you guys are such geniuses in the kitchen.

      -Dave
