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.

Ingredients

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, brisket, or short ribs are all good choices for barbecue beef sandwiches. These cuts are tough, but they become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
Use a good quality barbecue sauce: The barbecue sauce is what gives the sandwiches their flavor, so it's important to use a sauce that you like. There are many different barbecue sauces available, so experiment until you find one that you like.
Cook the beef until it is fall-apart tender: This will take several hours, but it's worth it. The longer the beef cooks, the more tender it will be.
Serve the sandwiches on a sturdy bun: A hamburger bun or a hoagie roll are both good choices. The bun should be able to hold up to the weight of the beef and the barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Tangy barbecue beef sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are perfect for a summer cookout, a tailgating party, or a casual dinner at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make tangy barbecue beef sandwiches that your family and friends will love.
