Equipment:

• 6-quart slow cooker

• Tongs

• Baking sheet for toasting the rolls

• Nonstick cooking spray

Ingredients:

• 1 lb deli-sliced roast beef

• 1 jar beef gravy (12 oz), or 2 packets of dry brown gravy mix, prepared according to package directions

• 4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls

• 4 slices provolone cheese

Instructions:

1. Prepare the slow cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Add the roast beef: Separate the deli-sliced roast beef and layer the slices evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker.

3. Pour in the gravy: Spread the beef gravy over the roast beef, making sure the slices are well covered.

4. Coat the beef: Use tongs to gently toss the slices so each piece is coated in gravy.

5. Cook until heated through: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for approximately 2 hours, or until the beef is thoroughly heated.

6. Toast the rolls: About 10 minutes before serving, slice the hoagie rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet. Toast in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 3–5 minutes, until lightly golden and crisp.

7. Assemble the sandwiches: Use tongs to divide the warm beef among the toasted rolls, spooning a little extra gravy over the meat if desired.
