BBQ Beef Sandwiches

BBQ Beef Sandwiches

(8-12 servings)

Ingredients:

3-4 lb. Boneless Chuck Roast

1½ cups Ketchup

1 small Yellow Onion, diced

¼ cup Brown Sugar, packed

¼ cup Red Wine Vinegar

1 tbsp. Dijon Mustard

1 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

2 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced

½ tsp. Salt

¼ tsp. Celery Seed

¼ tsp. Paprika

¼ tsp. Black Pepper

2 tbsp. Cornstarch

2 tbsp. Cold Water

Sandwich rolls of choice and condiments

Directions:

Cut roast in half and place in a 6-quart slow cooker.  In a small bowl, combine the ketchup through black pepper ingredients and pour over roast.  Cover with lid and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until roast is tender.  Remove roast to a platter and cover with foil.  Skim fat from cooking juices and transfer to a 3-quaart saucepan.  Bring liquid to a boil.  While coming to a boil, combine cornstarch and water until smooth in a small bowl.  Add this to the boiling liquid and cook another two minutes or until thickened.  Now shred meat with two forks after removing any large pieces of fat.  Return meat to the slow cooker, stir in thickened sauce and cook on high until heated through.  Serve with your favorite sandwich buns and appropriate condiments.

Note:               You can make a day or two ahead and then just reheat when needed.  Can also be placed in zip-lock freezer bags and frozen for future use.
