Crockpot Beef Roast

This recipe was shared with us a couple years ago by a coworker of my husband. It quickly became a family favorite. I love using my Crockpot and am especially excited when I come across such simple recipes like this that taste wonderful.

Beef Roast (I prefer rump)
2 packets Dry Italian Seasoning
1 jar banana peppers and juice
3-4 c. water

Set Roast in in Crockpot. Pour 1/2 jar of banana peppers and juice along with both packets of Italian Seasoning and water over roast. Cook on low 8 hrs. Shred with a fork.

Now here is where you can change the recipe a little. Personally, we don't like a lot of spice so we leave the recipe at that. There is a nice tangy flavor from the peppers but it isn't overpowering at all. If you like a lot of spice, then add the remaining peppers and juice to the shredded meat. This will really spice it up.

Another possibility is to turn it into stew. For that, simply add your choice of cut-up vegetables (potatoes, carrots, onions, green beans, mushrooms, possibly even barley - the possibilities are endless) for the last couple hours of cooking.
