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.

SNAPPY BARBECUE BEEF SANDWICHES
Meet the Cook: My husband and I do a lot of one-pot cooking (he taught me to cook after we were married!). The beef in these sandwiches is like an oven stew, but we'll often prepare it in a slow cooker - putting it on in the morning so we can just dish it up when we get home from work. Jerry is a rural mail carrier, and I am a nurse (this recipe came from one of the cookbooks that our hospital employees regularly compile). We have two grown sons...both of whom cook! -Patricia Throlson, Clear Lake, Minnesota.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Use a flavorful cut of beef, such as chuck roast, brisket, or flank steak. These cuts have a good amount of marbling, which will make the meat tender and juicy.
- Marinate the Beef: Marinating the beef helps to tenderize it and add flavor. Use a marinade made with a combination of acids (such as vinegar or lemon juice), oils, and herbs and spices.
- Cook the Beef Low and Slow: Barbecue the beef low and slow over indirect heat. This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Use a Good Quality Barbecue Sauce: Choose a barbecue sauce that you enjoy the taste of. You can also make your own barbecue sauce using a variety of ingredients, such as ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, and spices.
- Toast the Buns: Toasting the buns adds a nice smoky flavor and makes them more sturdy. You can toast the buns on the grill or in a toaster.
- Add Your Favorite Toppings: Once the beef is cooked and the buns are toasted, add your favorite toppings, such as cheese, coleslaw, and pickles.
Conclusion:
Barbecue beef sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make the best barbecue beef sandwiches that your family and friends will love. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
