Easier than easy Crock Pot Italian Beef Sliders. A beef brisket, a slow cooker and a bottle of Italian Dressing brings this fall apart beef sandwich to your table pronto. Perfect slider sandwich to feed that party crowd.
I have a category in my computer recipe database that is titled “Finds Of The Century.” In that category I place recipes that I crown as big time “finds.” Recipes you can’t wait to serve to friends, recipes that explode with flavor, recipes that make your eyes roll. In that folder you’ll find things like Beef Carbonnade, Ham Hash with eggs in Mustard Cream Sauce, Turkish Fries, Buffalo Dick’s Award Winning White Bean Chili, Pappas Brother’s Shrimp Remoulade….yup, “finds of the century.”
It’s been probably a year since I’ve added anything to this exclusive category and I’m here to announce that this recipe for Crock Pot Italian Beef Sliders has joined the elite.
I found the recipe over at Cook Eat Share, which I am a member. Cook Eat Share is a community that bills it’s self as “The World’s Largest Kitchen.” Members are bloggers, home cooks, chefs…it’s for anyone who likes to find and share recipes. It’s easy to join and once you agree to add their logo to your sidebar, your published recipes automatically upload to their site. Easy! And I get some pretty decent traffic from the site.
An easy recipe to assemble, just place a roast in the crock pot, cover with sliced onion and garlic, some spices and some Wishbone Italian Dressing and you come home to a savory smelling kitchen and a delicious sandwich for dinner. Every time I heated this up for leftovers, I’d shake a little more of that Wishbone Dressing to moisten up the beef before heating.
These sandwiches were wonderful all dressed up with lettuce, bell peppers and onions. But were just as good warmed and plain on a bun. Let’s take a look.
Recipe for Crock-pot Italian Beef Sliders
- 4-5 lbs . brisket flat or rump roast
- 1 cup Italian dressing like Wishbone
- 1 t . each basil parsley, and oregano, or 1 tsp. fresh
- 1 onion sliced
- 3-4 cloves garlic or 1 1/2 tsp. powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can beef broth
- slices for the sandwiches: sliced red bell peppers. red onion lettuce, tomato, cheese slices, mayo or use au jus
- Place all the ingredients in a crock pot and cook on high for 2 hours, turn to low and cook all day. Beef is ready when it easily shreads with a fork. To prepare sandwiches, place meat on buns, top with sliced red bell peppers, onion slices, lettuce. tomato, cheese, mayo or use au jus.

Barbara says
October 12, 2013 at 5:29 amDid you follow Buffalo Dick, Lea Ann? I really miss him! And his chili and bbq recipes were fantastic.
I think one of my biggest errors was when I gave my crock pot away. I stare at the slow cookers in Williams Sonoma, but now that I don’t cook for lots of family, I can’t justify the expense. This looks marvelous…and I imagine I can do it on stovetop…just have to be there to watch it. If you say it’s a “find”, it is!
Lea Ann says
October 12, 2013 at 11:39 amI did follow Buffalo Dick Barbara. So sad that he’s gone. 🙁
Larry says
October 12, 2013 at 7:13 amYou sure have posted some good stuff from Germany. Your Italian beef looks delicious and what a bonus that it’s so easy. I really like it but haven’t made it in a few years – this post may inspire me to change that – especially the top photo.
Lea Ann says
October 12, 2013 at 11:38 amLet me know how you like it Larry. We thought it was very good.

Cathy at Wives with Knives says
October 17, 2013 at 7:10 amThis sounds delicious, Lea Ann. Very similar to the beef sandwiches that my Chicago SIL talks about all the time. I need to use my crockpot more.
Lea Ann says
October 20, 2013 at 5:23 amIt was very tasty. I had no idea Illinois laid claim to this dish. New to me.
Rhonda says
October 18, 2013 at 8:57 amI adore the crockpot Italian sandwiches (an Illinois standard), I never thought to recreate them as a slider. Guess whats on my menu next get together!
BTW, my site has been totally revamped, stop by, I’m doing a giveaway that I think you’ll love!
Lea Ann says
October 20, 2013 at 5:22 amI had no idea it was an Illinois standard. I think this is the first I’ve heard of it. Heading over to take a look at your site.

Lea Ann says
October 20, 2013 at 5:21 amDo you know how many times I’ve saved a recipe and then can’t find it??? How frustrating is that? 🙂
Claire @ Simply Sweet Justice says
November 5, 2013 at 9:31 pmWhenever I am in Chicago, a visit to Portillo’s for an Italian beef is a must. This looks just as good!
Lea Ann says
November 7, 2013 at 5:40 amI have friends that just moved to Chicago, I’ll have to let them know.
