Slow Cooker Pulled BBQ Beef Sandwiches
Delicious and tender beef slow-cooked in a homemade BBQ sauce and served on a toasted hamburger bun. Perfect for parties and get-togethers. Nothing brings families together like comforting food made with love.
Now that the temperatures are rising, give your oven a break, and don’t heat the whole kitchen. This Slow Cooker BBQ Beef will cook by itself while you enjoy some time in the pool.
Make a huge pot and let people assemble their sandwiches. You can even leave them in the fridge and heat them out throughout the week or freeze the leftovers.
Last month when I traveled to Alabama, I got a real taste of Southern Cuisine and Hospitality. Their food is definitely out of this world. Simple flavors that come from the heart. Real flavor history is passed down through generations.
All these different flavors gave me the inspiration behind these Slow Cooker Pulled BBQ Beef Sandwiches. The meat just melts in your mouth with a sweet and smoky sauce. Just grab some extra napkins because it’s about to get messy!
If you don’t like hamburger buns, you can also serve them over lettuce cups, hoagie rolls, or even on top of homemade grits. I love combining the sweetness of the sauce with tangy pickles to balance out the flavors. Also, chips or french fries make a crispy side dish.
Did I mention how easy these are to make? No special cooking experience is required. Simply mix the sauce ingredients and place them in the slow cooker with the meat.
Then shred, top with sauce, and enjoy. People will think you slaved all day in the kitchen when the crock pot did all the hard work. I left mine to cook overnight on low for 10 hours.
That way, I did all my morning errands and wasn’t bending my back to get food ready by lunchtime.
I hope you can try these delicious slow-cooked BBQ Pulled Beef at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.
