Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Philly Cheese Steaks have tender beef, onion, and peppers. Pile on a bun and top with swiss cheese.
Here is an all-day slow cooker recipe for you. I know a lot of you work away from home and are looking for meals that could be left while you are away. This beef is cooked in plenty of liquid so it won’t dry out while cooked for a long period of time.
How to make Philly Cheese Steaks in the Slow Cooker:
In the slow cooker goes the browned meat, minced garlic, beefy onion soup mix, bell peppers, onions, and water.
Below is the beef after it has been cooked and shredded. The beefy onion soup mix makes a delicious sauce for the beef.
I used a giant loaf of French bread for the “buns” in this recipe. I also made hand-cut fries to go with them.

Would a Chuck roast work as well?
Yes, that works great.
love your recipes but why do they have so much sodium in them any way to cut down on that?
Any type of packet will cause the sodium to be high. You can try making your own mixes.
I have made this as well.you have to have patience with this slow and low process.in the end,delicious!
What is the serving size?
Depends on the exact size of your roast. This recipe serves about 6. You will have to divide the meat into 6 portions.
Can browning the meat be skipped and just put in the crock pot? Or can I brown it the night before? I won’t have time to do it in the morning.
You can skip the browning if needed. Some say it’s not safe to brown the night before.
