Slow Cooker Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich

I went to Philadelphia a few years ago as part of a Teaching American History travel grant.  (It was a great historical experience--and the food was great too).  I had never had a Philly cheese steak sandwich before then, but I loved them on the trip.  I hadn't had one since, so when I found this recipe on Six Sisters' Stuff, I knew I wanted to try it.  So Saturday night I threw all the ingredients in my crockpot and cooked it all day Sunday.  My house smelled so good when I came home Sunday night!

Ingredients:
-1 1/2 lbs beef round steak (I just bought a package of round steak; I didn't pay attention to the poundage)
-1 green pepper, sliced thin
-1 medium onion, sliced thin
-1 (14 oz) can beef broth
-1 envelope Italian dressing mix
-Hoagie buns
-Provolone cheese slices

Steps:
1. Spray crockpot with non-stick cooking spray
2. Cut meat into strips, place in slow cooker
3. Add green pepper, onion, broth, and dressing mix (I mixed the dressing with the broth before pouring it in)
4. Cover and cook on low 7-8 hours or high 3-4 hours
5. Spoon meat mixture onto bread, top with cheese

*It was really easy to make, but I wasn't a big fan.  I think next time I will shred the meat instead of just slicing it.  I would also use more italian seasoning and beef broth--I didn't feel like it had much flavor.
*The original recipe said it made 4-6 servings.  I don't know how much meat I used, but it only made 2-3 servings.
*I think I will look for and try a different Philly Cheese Steak recipe

Up Next: Tomorrow I am making Cheesy Pepperoni Pull Apart Bread for New Year's Eve--so excited!
