Sunday Slow Cooker Pepperoncini Beef
This beef is really special. I first saw a similar recipe and have made it multiple times for game days, get-togethers, and as a base for multiple meals throughout the week. The idea is so simple: slow cooker beef with pepperoncinis, onions, and a touch of Italian seasoning—the outcome is better than anything you could imagine. It's terrific on sandwiches, over rice, turned into a quick beef stew, or stuffed in peppers.
