This Slow Cooker Italian Beef Stew combines the great flavors of Italian Beef Sandwiches with the ease of a Slow Cooker Recipe.
Serving my house full of men and stay within a budget can sometimes be a challenge. If I had my way, I would cook chicken almost every night, but Doug and the boys don’t necessarily agree. Italian Beef Sandwiches are a favorite around here, but a large Beef Roast is pricey. So I adapted this recipe by using Beef Stew Meat instead, but kept the same great flavors of Italian Beef.
Not only are the flavors in the recipe great, but it’s also a perfect dish for Summer. No one wants to be stuck in the kitchen cooking while the weather is nice. So why not, get out your Slow Cooker, toss the Italian Beef Stew in and enjoy the weather.
