I would give you more than a "5" rating if I could. This has got to be the best sandwich I have ever had. I am from Chicago and they are famous for their "Italian Beef Sandwiches" I have made it before but it requires slicing the roast very thin and that in itself makes me think twice about making it. But after I tried your recipe I believe I like it better. The meat shredded so easy it was like butter, I followed the other folks advice and after I made the beef I stored it in the fridge overnight and it was just wonderful the following day. My family all loved it and devoured it, they were even reserving some in their name for later (lol) I doubled the recipe because I wanted to freeze half for another time but it didn't work out that way. I couldn't stop my family from eating it. Next time I'll know better. This is definitely going on my permanent cook book of "tried and loved it meals" can't wait till I make it again. I love wonderful tasting food and easy to make. Thanks again for sharing this wonderful recipe.

This is a great recipe. Just make sure you get a good cut of meat and let it could long enough. My family eats these up. I make enough for two days - it tastes even better the second day.

HOLY MOLY!! THIS WAS ALSO A VERY GOOD RECIPE.... MY KIDS, HUSBAND AND I ALL LOVED IT...THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

Extremely good. I put it on homemade french bread and nearly knocked my husband over with how good it was. I was the supper hero THAT night, I can tell you :).

This really is the best and super easy. I've made it several times now. I use low sodium soy sauce and added a beef cube for added flavor. I also strain some of the juice after and add corn starch to make an awesome gravy to go over rice or potatoes. You owe it to yourself to try this at least once. Trust me you will make it again.

Add a bit of beef cube.

This was awesome! Easy, inexpensive, and yummy! I made it as written except for adding a bit more garlic (I add more garlic to just about everything!)and I use low sodium soy sauce so I didn't have a problem with it being too salty. THe first nite we had it on steak rolls with melted provolone and it was scrumptious! The kids had fun dipping their sandwiches in the gravy, They made a bit of a mess but it was fun and they ate it all up with a nice big salad and some home-made lemonade. The next nite I made up a big pot of brown rice and we ate it over that and it was a big hit again; and it also was a bit better I think because I was able to take the fat off the top before I heated everything up. Thanks for a great easy recipe, this will be a staple in our home from now on!

This really is the best beef dip ever! It has quickly become one of my favorites (I make it almost once a week!) I serve it on crusty bread with some provolone or mozzarella melted on top and it's delicious every time- and couldn't be any easier! Thanks so much for this recipe

Easy and delicious; I make this often and everyone loves it.

Very good. Is salty but I loved that about it!

To be fair, this wasn't horrid, but it was not worth making again. Just tastes like salty, soy-saucy pot roast. I did cook overnight and refrigerate the following day as suggested, and also used low sodium broth and soy sauce. But it just tasted too soy-ish. I much prefer the recipes on this site for italian beef.

This came out waaaay too salty for my husband and I. I dont think that I would use soy sauce in the slow cooker again.

This is great! I cook mine 10-12 hrs. and it's perfect every time. My husband just loves beef dip sandwiches and was thrilled with this recipe! It's now a regular meal in our house! Thanks for a new favorite!

This is a great recipe!!! The only thing I changed was instead of 6 cups of water, I used 4 cups of beef broth. It cooked on low for about 9 hours. I shredded it and then let it cook on low for about another hour. Half of us ate it over rice, the other half ate it in a sandwich.

Mmmmmmmm! Easy and Delicious!!! This recipe is definately a keeper!

This is one of the best crock pot recipes I've ever tried. My whole family loves it. I use McCormic crushed rosemary to avoid large pieces. We add sliced provolone & horseradish to the sandwich. Awesome!!!
