Italian-Style Beef in Slow Cooker

  • 1 (12 oz) jar banana pepper rings
  • 1 ½ cups diced frozen onions

Steps

    1. Preheat slow cooker on HIGH. Trim excess fat from meat, then place in slow cooker (wash hands). Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic.
    2. Drain both jars of peppers. Add peppers, onions, and pasta sauce to slow cooker. Reduce heat to LOW, cover, and cook 8–9 hours (or up to 12 hours) until beef is 195°F (for shreddable).
