These sandwiches turned out great. I followed the recipe as written and my family asked for seconds. There was enough meat leftover for the next day.

EXCELLENT! I was out of a seasoning mix I use and looking for a recipe that used the spices instead of a mix. Found this one and deviated slightly. I added an Aus Jur mix to the water and the last 30-45 min of cooking added some whole button mushrooms and served on the side with peppercinis. So good! Lot of broth left for soup!

Awesome! I used venison roast, and added an onion, cut in strips. It was awesome. No one could tell that it was venison. Absolutely no gamey taste at all. I slow cooked on high for about 5 hours, maybe a little longer.

this has become my favorite recipe for italian beef, BUT i do not use the stir fry mix they suggest. instead i add a jar of mild pepperocini's with the juice, and it is the perfect thing to boost the flavor. i've made it without the pepperocinis too and it just wasn't the same. they make the recipe.

I had very high hopes going into this one. I made it for Superbowl Sunday. It was ok. Used 4.2 lb roast. Cooked 9 hrs on low. Came out perfect. Flavor just wasn't there like I had hoped for. There were no leftovers however. Maybe less water would help this out.

I used fresh peppers but otherwise followed the recipe. I thought it was great but my husband liked it better the next day when I turned it into bbq sandwiches by just adding a bottle of bbq sauce.

I was not very impressed with this recipe. Granted I didn't use the peppers because I was out but still wasn't that great. I guess the peppers are relied on for most of the flavor because this didn't have much without them. About an hour before serving I ended up adding a jar of au ju gravy to help the flavor. Might make again with the peppers.

Delicious! I took the provolone cheese suggestion and toasted it in the toaster oven until the cheese melted. My husband and I loved it and eat it that way every time we make slow-cooked beef. My already-picky-4-year-old even likes it!
