Here's a slightly modified version of the original recipe with some twists to make it more fun and flavorful. Tender and juicy shredded beef sandwiched in a hoagie bun with a kick of garlic, Italian seasonings, and hot pepper sauce. The meat is slow-cooked until it shreds effortlessly with the mere touch of a fork, infusing the flavors of the seasoning throughout. The recipe is a must-try and a delightful twist on the classic Italian beef sandwich.
