You need this Slow Cooker Italian Beef recipe in your weekly diet. The only “trick” for the low-carb option of this is to skip out on the bun. While I would have loved to make a sandwich out of this meat, a bowl of it is so flavorful and tender. This first time I tried this recipe I used more banana peppers, which ended up making the beef spicier. Skip out on the peppers completely if you would like your beef without any heat. Try adding the banana peppers whole so you can easily pick them out of the meat if you still want a little flavor.
When it’s ready, grab yourself a bowl (or a sandwich) and top with mustard. Yum! You can serve over a side of Spicy Garlic Mashed Cauliflower.
