Slow Cooker BBQ Beef

A crock pot is an easy, efficient method of slow cooking meats. In some parts of the country (Not Tucson) it's getting too cold to grill outside and oven roasting can overheat the house. This quick and easy recipe calls for BBQ beef, but a pork loin can be substituted.



                                                    Slow Cooker BBQ Beef


3# chuck roast or bottom round
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 Tbl spoon Lee and Perrins  or Worcestershire Sauce
5-6 garlic cloves crushed
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp black pepper



Place beef in slow cooker set on low. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and pour over beef. Cover and cook on low for 5 hours, then high for 2 hours. (If you are out, cook on low for 8-9 hours)

When beef pulls apart easily, remove from pot, and shred. replace in slow cooker, spooning liquid over meat. Serve on a bun with fries and a side of slaw or baked beans. Sauce can be thickened by reducing over med heat in a saute pan.
