TANGY BARBECUE SANDWICHES



Tangy Barbecue Sandwiches image

This is adapted from a crockpot cookbook I have. The original recipe contained water and cooked on high. We found that the meat is better cooked on low, and that the addition of the water makes it too soupy. We enjoy this on onion rolls from the bakery of our local grocery store. Sometimes we even spread the rolls with garlic butter and toast them under the broiler before loading with the meat. Great with Recipe #71203, #71203 or my Recipe #247747, #247747.

Time 8h10m

Yield 14-18 sandwiches, 14-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups celery, chopped (I dice this pretty fine, as I'm not a big fan of celery and don't want to find recognizeable chunks )
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup ketchup
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt (I usually omit this)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (I usually just throw in a healthy spoonful of the jarred minced garlic)
3 -4 lbs boneless chuck roast (trim any visible fat off first, to avoid having it liquified in your sandwich later)
14 -18 hamburger buns
pickle (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except roast, buns, and pickles in crock pot. Mix well.
  • Add roast. Roll the roast around to coat with the other ingredients.
  • Cover. Cook on Low 8-10 hours.
  • Remove roast. Cool enough to shred meat with two forks. Depending on the direction of the grain of the meat, you may want to cut into smaller pieces with a knife before shredding. The last time I made this, I had very long shreds of meat that didn't stay on the bun very well when I bit into it, because the grain ran weird on the roast, and I just shredded it anyway.
  • Return meat to sauce. Heat well.
  • Serve on buns with pickles, if desired.

ELAINE'S SWEET AND TANGY LOOSE BEEF BBQ



Elaine's Sweet and Tangy Loose Beef BBQ image

This recipe is a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants creation. I researched several BBQ recipes online and in my cookbooks and combined bits and pieces of different things I liked about them. The result was a wonderful and tangy loose BBQ for sandwiches that is very easy to make and takes little hands-on time. My in-laws who are in their 70s both said it was the best BBQ they had ever had. It was awesome!
