Not only are these Slow Cooker BBQ Beef Sandwiches a crowd pleaser they're really easy to make! The great thing cooking meat in a slow cooker is that the less expensive cuts of meat tenderize the best and don't dry out (which is why pulled pork is always so good in the slow cooker)! The low and slow cooking method gives you beef so tender you can easily shared it with a fork.

TANGY BARBECUE BEEF SANDWICHES (SLOW COOKER)



Tangy Barbecue Beef sandwiches (slow cooker) image

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.

Provided by Deb Crane

Categories     Sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 16

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.

SLOW-COOKER DRIP BEEF SANDWICHES



Slow-Cooker Drip Beef Sandwiches image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 8h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 pounds beef chuck roast
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
One 16-ounce jar pepperoncini
2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, sliced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
6 soft hoagie rolls, split
6 tablespoons salted butter, softened
12 slices provolone cheese
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • For the beef: Toss the roast in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker with the rosemary, salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Add the pepperoncini with their liquid and the beef broth. Cover and cook on low until the meat is very tender and easy to pull apart, 7 to 8 hours.
  • For the caramelized onions: When the slow cooker has about 15 minutes left, heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the roast to a bowl and shred using 2 forks, then return it to the slow cooker to keep warm.
  • For the sandwich assembly: Preheat the broiler. Put the rolls on a baking sheet and spread each with a tablespoon of butter. Broil until toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • Heap a generous portion of meat on each roll, then spoon some of the cooking liquid over the meat. Top with a few pepperoncini from the slow cooker and plenty of caramelized onions. Put 2 slices of cheese on each sandwich and return to the broiler just to melt the cheese, about 1 more minute. Serve with potato chips and extra cooking liquid on the side for dipping.
  • Allow the leftover beef to cool completely, then transfer to a resealable freezer bag with a nice portion of cooking liquid and freeze for later use. When ready to serve, thaw completely in the refrigerator, then heat through and serve with additional sandwich fixings.

ELAINE'S SWEET AND TANGY LOOSE BEEF BBQ



Elaine's Sweet and Tangy Loose Beef BBQ image

This recipe is a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants creation. I researched several BBQ recipes online and in my cookbooks and combined bits and pieces of different things I liked about them. The result was a wonderful and tangy loose BBQ for sandwiches that is very easy to make and takes little hands-on time. My in-laws who are in their 70s both said it was the best BBQ they had ever had. It was awesome!

TANGY BARBECUE SANDWICHES



Tangy Barbecue Sandwiches image

This is adapted from a crockpot cookbook I have. The original recipe contained water and cooked on high. We found that the meat is better cooked on low, and that the addition of the water makes it too soupy. We enjoy this on onion rolls from the bakery of our local grocery store. Sometimes we even spread the rolls with garlic butter and toast them under the broiler before loading with the meat. Great with Recipe #71203, #71203 or my Recipe #247747, #247747.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 8h10m

Yield 14-18 sandwiches, 14-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups celery, chopped (I dice this pretty fine, as I'm not a big fan of celery and don't want to find recognizeable chunks )
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup ketchup
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt (I usually omit this)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (I usually just throw in a healthy spoonful of the jarred minced garlic)
3 -4 lbs boneless chuck roast (trim any visible fat off first, to avoid having it liquified in your sandwich later)
14 -18 hamburger buns
pickle (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except roast, buns, and pickles in crock pot. Mix well.
  • Add roast. Roll the roast around to coat with the other ingredients.
  • Cover. Cook on Low 8-10 hours.
  • Remove roast. Cool enough to shred meat with two forks. Depending on the direction of the grain of the meat, you may want to cut into smaller pieces with a knife before shredding. The last time I made this, I had very long shreds of meat that didn't stay on the bun very well when I bit into it, because the grain ran weird on the roast, and I just shredded it anyway.
  • Return meat to sauce. Heat well.
  • Serve on buns with pickles, if desired.
