3 Cover and cook on Low heat setting 8 to 9 hours.
4 Place beef on cutting board; remove netting or strings. Cut or shred beef into small pieces. Return beef to cooker. To serve, spread cut sides of buns with tomato spread; sprinkle with basil. Layer beef, onion mixture and cheese in buns.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Instead of sun-dried tomato spread, spread the buns with basil pesto or pesto mayo. Just omit the chopped fresh basil. Any sturdy bun, or a baguette sliced lengthwise, works well with this recipe.

Coleslaw, a marinated vegetable salad or pasta salad from the deli is a great choice to serve with these sandwiches.

Sun-dried tomato spread can be found near the Italian foods or in the deli section of your supermarket.

Made these sandwiches last night and will definitely be making them often, especially on busy fall and winter weekends. My husband raved about them. I skipped the basil and tomato spread but they were perfect without. Reminded me of a cheese steak sandwich.

So thankful this was in the crock pot after a long day of soccer games and apple picking. I didn't have the tomato spread or basil leaves. Still loved it and super easy.
