• 1/4 cup Banana Peppers
• 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1 cup low sodium beef broth

Instructions

1. Press dressing mix and Italian seasoning evenly onto all surfaces of beef Cross Rib Roast. Place banana peppers and garlic in 4-1/2 to 5-1/2-quart slow cooker; top with roast and beef broth. Cover and cook on HIGH 6 hours or LOW for 8 hours or until roast is fork-tender.
