One of the best beef sandwiches that I had was Crock Pot Beef Stew Sandwich. It is simply a delicious sandwich made from slow cooked beef stew and topped with cheese. I think that it goes well with the Hoagie Roll – I just added a pepperoncini on top for that extra sour flavor with a bit of spice.
Although this slow cooked beef stew sandwich takes long to prepare, it is worth the wait. The cooking process is easy; all you have to do is combine the ingredients in a slow cooker and let time develop the good flavor. Before I forget, let me point out one thing about searing the beef cubes before placing it in the slow cooker. I find it better to sear the beef first because it locks the entire flavor inside the beef. For some reason, I think that the overall taste is better if you sear the beef compared to putting it raw in the slow cooker.
When assembling the sandwich, you can use any type of bread. The Hoagie roll is just my recommendation. Use any bread – pandesal, hamburger buns, hotdog buns – you name it. Your Crock Pot Beef Stew Sandwich will also taste better if you pour some sauce over the beef.

Even better to add a big glass of full bodied red wine or stout. Really brings out a wonderfully rich flavour to any stew! Add this when you add the meat and veg.

If i were to bring this to a potluck at work, will it work by doubling up all the ingredients? Including the liquids?
Vanjo Merano says
Sure, as long as your group is between 15 to 16 people.

I was so confident about the recipe that I doubled it up AND brought it to work for potluck. First time to cook it and it was a hit! I realized though that I can not possibly bring the whole 4qt crockpot that was almost full to the brim; and had to leave half of it at home!
In other words, the original recipe was enough. Thanks!
