EASY ITALIAN BEEF

Steps:

• Place roast in crock-pot/slow cooker and add dry seasonings or bottle of Italian dressing (if you use prepared dressing, do not add as much water). Add enough water to come up on the sides of the roast. (It will make more juice as it cooks.) Salt and pepper to taste (remember the dressing is spicy and has salt, so you might want to omit all together.)
• Cook for approx 7 hours on low setting. Approximately 1 hour from cooking, add about 1/4 jar of the juice from the peppers and 2-3 peppers, and break up the roast in pieces.
• My family likes on good bread with some of the extra pepperoncinis and a little parmesan cheese sprinkled on.
