SOUTHWESTERN PULLED BRISKET SANDWICHES
A great alternative to hamburgers, hot dogs, or pork barbeque. Please note that the recipe calls for two whole chipotle chiles; not two cans of chipotle chiles. We actually removed the meat from our slow cooker to pull and chop it and served the sauce on the side (strained of all the onion, bay leaves and garlic). This way each person can decide how much sauce to use.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Brisket is the traditional choice for pulled beef sandwiches, but you can also use chuck roast or rump roast.
- Use a good quality barbecue sauce. The sauce is what really makes the pulled beef sandwiches, so don't skimp on it. Look for a sauce that is thick and flavorful, and that has a good balance of sweet and savory.
- Cook the beef low and slow. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall apart easily.
- Don't overcook the beef. Once the beef is cooked through, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before shredding.
- Shred the beef against the grain. This will help to create tender, juicy pulled beef.
- Serve the pulled beef sandwiches on your favorite bread or bun. Top with additional barbecue sauce, coleslaw, and pickles.
