How to Make Easy Italian Style Beef in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
Can you place things in a crock pot, dump things in a crock pot and measure things before adding it to a crock pot? If so, then you can prep this Easy Crock Pot Italian Style Beef recipe. It is seriously that simple. What is even better is that this roast has amazing flavor!
If you want to serve this roast up like you normally would serve a roast, you totally can. However, we loved it shredded up and served on brioche buns with some shredded mozzarella sprinkled on top. The flavors all just come together to give you an awesome main dish whichever way you decide to serve it.
