the chuck roast into melt-in-your-mouth beef, while the pepperoncini peppers add a subtle tang and heat
that makes every bite irresistible.
Tips
- Lightly toast the hoagie rolls to prevent sogginess.
- Add provolone or mozzarella cheese for extra richness.
- For more spice, include extra pepperoncini juice or hot peppers.
