For the Sandwiches
- 6 pieces hoagie rolls Toast for a crispy texture.

Instructions
Preparation
- Start by placing the beef roast into the crockpot.
- Next, add the sliced onion, minced garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Cover and set your crockpot to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the beef is tender.
- Once cooked, remove the beef and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the crockpot to soak up more juices.
- While you wait, toast the hoagie rolls until they’re crispy and warm.
- Fill each roll generously with the shredded beef, then top with a slice of cheese.
- Serve your sandwiches with a side of warm au jus for dipping.
Notes
To enhance flavor, sear the beef before placing it in the crockpot. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
