I had a craving for homemade barbecue sandwiches last weekend. So I dusted off my crockpot and went searching for recipes. Crock pots/Slow cookers really are the most suburban/old lady cooking devices ever. Every grandma in town has a slow cooker recipe and most of them involve cream of mushroom soup. Still, they can be a tasty no hassle way to put dinner on the table. You just throw a bunch of stuff in the pot, turn it on low, and 8 hours later you have a meal. It takes a little planning, but it can be a life saver after a long day at work. This recipe came from an internet source citing The 50+ Friends Cookbook. Im not sure if "50+ Friends" is refering to a large group of friends or friends over 50 years old, but either way it is bound to make a ton of food that even old people will enjoy. Look for more Bloghungry crock pot adventures in future weeks.
Crockpot Barbeque
2 1/2 - 3 pound beef roast
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
4 Tbsp brown sugar
3 cloves garlic
3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp liquid smoke (optional)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
10-12 french rolls or buns
favorite store bought barbecue sauce (optional)
Remove any excess fat from the roast. Place roast in slow cooker. Combine remaining ingredients (except rolls) and pour over meat. Cover and cook on LOW for 8-9 hours. Shread the meat by pulling it apart with two forks (it will fall apart easily). Add any extra barbeque sauce as necessary and serve on rolls or buns. Leftovers can be refridgerated.
Dang man, I didn't even read the post, just saw the pictures and you got a fan! Don't worry, I read the post afterwards :)That recipe looks really good. And I know what you mean about slow cookers being for grandmas, but you have to admit, those machines can be pretty useful and churn out some great food. Once I got a place of my own, I decided to get a slow cooker right away...they're perfect for when you have no idea what to eat but you have a bunch of stuff in the fridge. I don't know if other people are, but I was kinda overwhelmed by the choices out there...this website made it a lot easier tho. I'm really gonna have to try this recipe, those pictures are too good.
