Taste Tested Tuesday: Barbecued Beef Sandwiches
Posted by AndreaMy Crock Pot doesn’t have that sparkly, fresh out of the box look anymore. It’s starting to dull, scratch, and peel, but that’s fine with me as long as it continues to work well. Whether your Crock Pot is well loved like mine or is still hiding out among the unused wedding gifts, you’ll want to pull it out for this recipe!
We think this hearty barbecued beef recipe is a keeper! Toss a chuck roast into the Crock Pot, cover it with a “doctored up” semi-homemade barbecue sauce, and let it slow cook all day. It really doesn’t get much easier or much tastier than that!
When I prepare barbecued beef sandwiches, I serve them on round rolls with a side of sweet potato fries and a salad and we always enjoy a fabulous, filling meal!
Barbecued Beef Sandwiches
1 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (4 pound) boneless chuck roast
In a large bowl, combine barbecue sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, red wine vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and liquid smoke. Stir in salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place chuck roast in a slow cooker. Pour ketchup mixture over chuck roast. Cover, and cook on low for 8 hours.
Before serving, use a fork to shred the beef and stir beef to evenly coat with sauce. Spoon meat onto rolls and top with additional barbecue sauce.

Sounds like a Super Bowl Sunday meal to me. Thanks !
Good thinking Val! I may have to do the same! Go Steelers!
My boys love BBQ sandwiches, this looks like a tasty and easy recipe. Thank you for sharing!
It’s a keeper that I’m happy to share!
Do you think I can use 3lbs of ground beef instead?
I don’t see why you couldn’t. I think it’ll taste just fine but turn out with a consistency closer to Sloppy Joes or chili. If you do use the ground beef, I would only cook it for 3 to 4 hours. I’ve found that overcooking ground meat in the Crock Pot can sometimes make it mushy.
Let me know how it turns out:)
It turned out great for superbowl. I did brown the meat stovetop first. It never got mushy. I made a quickie batch today with just a few of the ingredients and it was still good. Thanks!
