TANGY BARBECUE BEEF SANDWICHES (SLOW COOKER)

This is a go to recipe that I use often when having a gathering. I found this recipe years ago in Taste of Home. The sauce makes these sandwiches! The beef shreds easily and everyone just loves the taste. This will serve up to 20 so it is a great large crowd recipe. Or make it and freeze some for later.

Categories     Sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 16

FOR THE SAUCE:
3 c chopped celery
1 c chopped onion
1 c ketchup
1 c barbeque sauce
1 c water
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
FOR THE BEEF:
3-4 lb boneless chuck roast trimmed of most fat
18-20 bakery buns (or your favorite buns)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all sauce ingredients together. Place in a large slow cooker.
  • 2. Add the roast. Cover and cook on high for 6-7 hours or until tender. I like to do this at least a day ahead of time. Let it cool. Shred the beef and return it to the sauce.
  • 3. Serve with a slotted spoon adding a heaping helping on a good bun! Yum! Crowd pleasing! :)
  • 4. NOTE: This time I almost doubled the meat. About 7 pounds of chuck roast and there was no need to double the sauce. Turned out perfect! And made enough to feed the hungry crowd! This is fairly inexpensive if you have alot of people to feed.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast or brisket are both good choices for barbecue sandwiches, as they are tough cuts of meat that become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Use a flavorful barbecue sauce. The sauce is what really makes barbecue sandwiches special, so be sure to choose one that you love. There are many different types of barbecue sauces available, so you can find one that suits your taste.
  • Cook the beef slowly. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall apart easily.
  • Shred the beef. Once the beef is cooked, shred it using two forks or a meat shredder. This will make it easier to eat on a sandwich.
  • Serve the sandwiches on toasted buns. Toasted buns will help to absorb the barbecue sauce and make the sandwiches even more delicious.

Conclusion:

Tangy barbecue beef sandwiches are a classic American comfort food that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your sandwiches saucy or dry, messy or neat, there is a barbecue beef sandwich recipe out there for you. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
