Slow Cooker Italian Shredded Beef

This shredded Italian beef is a stand-by for potlucks and big parties.  Simple to make, but always a big hit, it's packed with delicious flavor. And bonus, you can make it ahead of time and freeze until party day. 

Slow Cooker Italian Shredded Beef

Ingredients:
32oz beef broth
2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp dried basil
2 tsp powdered onion
2 tsp dried parsley
2 ½ tsp garlic powder
2 bay leaves
2 (.7 ounce) package dry Italian-style salad dressing mix
8lb bottom round roast cut into quarters and slightly de-fatified 

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except meat and bay leaves. Whisk together and pour over meat into slow cooker. Pour seasoned broth mix over meat and add bay leaves.  Cook on low for 10 to 12 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours. Remove bay leaves, and shred meat with a fork. Serve on Crusty French Bread with provolone cheese. (And for a really authentic flavor, dip the  whole sandwich into the broth immediately prior to serving.)
