This Slow Cooker Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich recipe delivers a flavorful, tender beef sandwich with all the classic ingredients. It’s an easy, hands-off way to enjoy a delicious Philly-style sandwich at home, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.

Ingredients:

• 2 ½ to 3 pounds beef round steak, cut into thin strips
• 2 green peppers, sliced thinly
• 2 onions, sliced thinly
• 3 cups beef stock
• 2 teaspoons garlic salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 envelope Italian dressing mix (dry mix)
• 1 to 2 large loaves French bread, sliced into sandwich lengths (or toasted buns as an alternative)
• Provolone cheese slices, enough to cover each sandwich

Instructions:

Prepare the Slow Cooker:

1. Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

Layer the Ingredients:

1. Place the thin strips of beef round steak in the slow cooker.
2. Add the sliced green peppers and onions on top of the meat.
3. Pour the beef stock over the meat and vegetables.
4. Sprinkle the garlic salt, black pepper, and dry Italian dressing mix evenly over the contents.

Cooking:

1. Cover the slow cooker with the lid.
2. Set to cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. The slow cooking allows the beef to become tender and allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Assemble the Sandwiches:

1. Once the meat is tender and flavorful, use tongs or a slotted spoon to load the beef, peppers, and onions onto sliced French bread or toasted buns.
2. Top each sandwich generously with slices of Provolone cheese.

Melt the Cheese:

1. Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet.
2. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Optional Toppings:

1. If desired, sautéed mushrooms can be added on top of the cheese before baking for an extra layer of flavor.

Serve and Enjoy:

1. Serve the sandwiches hot, ideally with a side of potato chips or a fresh salad.
