In the crock pot:
Place the chuck into your slow cooker on low and add the broth, water, salt, pepper, pepperoncini juice and spices and bay leaves.
Cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is fully tender and can be shredded.
Shred the meat and drizzle a little broth over it. Strain the broth and put into small bowls for dipping.
Toast the rolls lightly and place meat on them and top with pepperoncini. You can also melt some mozzarella onto the bread first if you'd like.
To make this in the oven, set the oven temp to 325 and bake for 2-3 hours until the meat is falling apart tender. To make in an instantpot, follow instructions for cooking pot roast or similar.
