Tender, juicy shredded chucke roast makes a perfect sandwich filling. The banana peppers in this recipe don't make the beef spicy, but they do add a delicious zesty flavor. We serve with extra peppers on top!

Notes

All slow cookers are different and some take longer/shorter than others. If your meat is not easily shredding after cooking, keep cooking it! It will get tender and easy to shred if it cooks long enough. If you double this recipe or use a larger roast, you will need to add cooking time as well.
