1 tablespoon Montreal Steak Seasoning
2 teaspoon dried oregano
Fresh cracked pepper to taste
2 bay leaves
3 garlic cloves
32 ounces beef stock

2 ½ pounds chuck roast, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon Montreal Steak Seasoning, 2 teaspoon dried oregano, Fresh cracked pepper to taste
Place the seasoned meat into the crockpot and add all the bay leaves and garlic cloves.
2 bay leaves, 3 garlic cloves
Add the stock and just enough water to cover the meat.
32 ounces beef stock, Water
Cover and place on low heat for 7-8 hours or high 3-4 hours. You want it to cook until it is fall-apart tender. Take out the meat and slice it as thin as you can.
Make sure you take out the bay leaf and throw that away. Smash the garlic in the pot.
Add the meat back to the post and put it on the warm setting.
Cook frozen garlic bread to the directions on the package.
1 large frozen loaf of garlic bread
Cut garlic bread into four equal pieces and pile on the meat, adding two slices of provolone cheese. Place the sandwiches on a sheet tray and pop it back in the oven, just long enough to melt the cheese.
8 slices provolone cheese
Serve with the remaining au jus from the crockpot for dipping! Save any leftover meat for more sandwiches or another meal.

Notes

Chuck and rump roast are best for this, chuck is our go-to.
This can be doubled, just place in a larger crock pot.
You can substitute the garlic bread with other breads if you like, something sturdy and crusty is best.
If you are not a fan of provolone, see my tips above on other cheeses you can use.
This can be cooked on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
