These sandwiches are kind of like a cross between a philly cheesesteak and a sloppy joe, but easier to make than both of them! Dinner for a crowd? Double the recipe, if it will fit in your crockpot. So simple to make, but so tasty. Save this one for a night you need a quick dinner. Most of the prep is done in the morning all you need to do is shred the meat, toast the buns and dinner is on the table. I just love these easy crockpot recipes I am finding and new ways to use shredded beef and pork besides BBQ.
