Preparation

Step 1

Place beef in slow cooker.
In a small bowl combine water, salad dressing mix, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper and garlic powder and pour over beef in slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours.
Remove meat from cooker with a slotted spoon. Using two forks, shred the meat.
Pile meat in rolls, and if desired, sprinkle with cheese and broil to melt cheese.
Drizzle each sandwich with some of the strained juices, and top sandwiches with desired toppings.
The leftover juices make excellent dipping sauce!
