Italian Beef

Ingredients:
1-Beef Roast, 4-6 lbs. (anything will work, arm, shoulder, chuck, rump, etc.)
1/2 bottle or can of beer (I try to use something with substance but light beer works too)
4-5 cloves of garlic smashed or chopped
Salt and pepper
2-3 Good Seasons Italian Dressing dry packets
Beef broth or water

I usually put a frozen roast into the crock pot before bed. I add the beer, garlic, sprinkle with salt and pepper. I put the crock pot on low.

In the morning, I remove any bones that may have been in the meat and slice the meet in about 1/2 inch slices. I keep all of the fluid in the crock pot and return the sliced meat to the crock. I then add 2 dry packets of Italian dressing and a cup of beef broth or water. I then let it cook on low the rest of the day. If it appears to not have much fluid, feel free to add more if you would like.

Towards supper, I taste to see if any more seasoning or fluid is needed. I try to tear the beef apart to look like shredded beef. I serve on kaiser rolls with cheese and peppers. Enjoy!
