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.

How To Make tangy barbecue beef sandwiches (slow cooker)

  • Sauce ingredients
    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.
  • Ready to cook slow in the cooker
    3
    Serve with a slotted spoon adding a heaping helping on a good bun! Yum! Crowd pleasing! :)

    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.
