Reddit mentions of Marconi The Original Chicago Style Hot & Mild Giardiniera 16 oz (Variety Pack)

Authentic Italian beef is stupid easy to make at home in a slow cooker. I do it all the time:

Dump a full jar (juice and all) pepperoncinis into slow cooker. (I sort through them and pull of all the stems)

Plop a 3 pound hunk o beef in there (chuck roast is great, top round roast works well too)

Dump One packet Italian dressing mix (I prefer ‘zesty Italian’ dressing mix) over it all

Cook on low about 8 hours, remove the pepperoncinis and shred the beef. Add a little water if needed.

Let it simmer a little longer and serve

Don’t forget the (hot or mild) G

It’s a great thing to bring to a pot luck, or for tailgating without needing to hassle with a grill.

Its only in Chicago area subways. It is my absolute favorite topping for any sandwich, except it sits in oil so if the employee doesnt drain it or be careful with not scooping up too much oil you get a soggy mess. When I use giardiniera at home I scoop it with a fork so not much oil comes with it. Back when I lived in Chicago, every time I got subway I always asked for 3x giardiniera.

I highly recommend you try it if you like jalapenos or spicy stuff. There is an italian style which is not popular, and there is a Chicago style which is the one everyone knows. Super good, not only do people put it on sandwiches but also on pizzas, in pasta, on hot dogs, literally on anything. Sometimes I just eat it as a side dish on its own. It is about $4-$5 a jar im Chicago but Amazon has 2 for $15, which really isnt that bad for the convenience of ordering online. Long shelf life since it sits in oil.
