CROCK-POT SHREDDED BEEF SANDWICHES
I've seen quite a few other recipes on here like this one, but they all have Italian dressing in them. Which I was a little weirded out by so I didn't want to use it. I came across this recipe in a Taste Of Home book and figured I'd give it a try. Please note that it IS a spicy meal. If you have a hard time dealing with normal black pepper or mild salsa you probably will not like this. I like mild salsa but too much of it burns my mouth and black pepper bothers me too sometimes. I COULD deal with this (by NOT eating any of the peppers), and I liked it, but it is very spicy to someone like me.

Steps:
- Drain the peppers, reserve the liquid. Cut off the stems. Set aside.
- Cut roast into large chunks. I cut mine into thirds and then split those in half.
- Place 1/3 of the meat into a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add water.
- In a small bowl, combine the seasonings and sprinkle half over the meat.
- Layer another 1/3 of the meat on top. Add the onion, Peppers, and Pepper juice.
- Layer the last 1/3 of meat and cover with remaining seasonings.
- NOTE: I found that my pot was large enough to fit all the slices of meat all on the bottom. I just put 1/2 the spices, all the peppers, onion and pepper juice on top. Then topped it off with the rest of the spices.
- Cover and cook on low for 8-9hrs or until meat is tender.
- Once done shred with forks and using a slotted spoon put on rolls.
- NOTE: If you are using a soft bread, you may want to drain the meat a little more. And for those that can't handle more spice, I wouldn't recommend eating the peppers.

Tips for Perfect Shredded Beef Sandwiches
- Use a tough cut of beef, such as chuck roast or brisket. These cuts will become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly in the crock pot. - Brown the beef in a skillet before adding it to the crock pot. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry. - Add plenty of liquid to the crock pot, such as beef broth, water, or a combination of both. This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from sticking to the pot. - Cook the beef on low for at least 8 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender. The longer you cook it, the more tender it will become. - Shred the beef with two forks or a meat shredder. - Serve the shredded beef on toasted buns or rolls, with your favorite toppings, such as barbecue sauce, cheese, onions, and pickles.Conclusion
Shredded beef sandwiches are a classic comfort food that are perfect for a casual meal or a party. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and satisfying shredded beef sandwich in no time.
