How to Make Crock Pot Philly Cheesesteak

1. Prep Your Crock Pot

Place the chuck roast directly into the crock pot.

2. Add All Seasonings

Sprinkle on:

• Lawry’s salt

• Garlic powder

• Onion powder

• Italian seasoning

• Salt and pepper

3. Add Veggies + Extras

Add to the crock pot:

• Onion slices

• Bell pepper slices

• Celery

• Zucchini

• Banana peppers

• Banana pepper juice (optional for extra tang)

• Worcestershire sauce

• Broth

4. Slow Cook

Cook on LOW for 8–10 hours.

You can’t overcook it — the longer it cooks, the more tender and shreddable the roast becomes.(I put mine in before work and let it go closer to 10 hours!)

5. Shred the Meat

Before serving:

• Remove the roast

• Shred it with forks

• Remove large pieces of fat

• Add the shredded meat back into the juices

This step is key — it soaks up all that amazing flavor.

6. Build Your Cheesesteaks

• Slice hoagie rolls add provolone cheese

• Toast them in the oven until golden

• Pile on the shredded Philly cheesesteak meat

• Add any toppings you love

Banana peppers, sautéed mushrooms, or even a little mayo make them incredible.

Tips for the Best Crock Pot Philly Cheesesteak

• Banana pepper juice adds amazing flavor — tangy, savory, not spicy

• Use provolone, not American — it melts perfectly and tastes authentic

• Toast your bread so it doesn’t get soggy

• Leftovers? Use them for quesadillas, rice bowls, or stuffed peppers

• Add more broth if you like a saucier sandwich
