Carol's Slow Cooker BBQ Beef (crockpot, barbeque, slowcooker, crock pot)
- Minutes to Prepare:
- Number of Servings: 20
Ingredients
4lb boneless beef chuck, arm, rump or pot roast2 large onions sliced into thin strips4 stalks celery, sliced4 cloves fresh garlic minced (I use mini food chopper, OR, 1 tsp garlic powder)1.5 cup catsup1 cup BBQ sauce (I used off brand from Dollar Store)1/4 cup Grandma's Molasses1/4 cup apple cider vinegar or your choice of other kind2 tbsp prepared yellow mustard your choice of type1/4 tsp chili powder1/4 tsp black pepper
Trim and completely remove ALL visible fat. Place beef in crock pot. Add onion, celery, and garlic. In medium bowl mix the remaining ingredients well with a whisk, then pour over beef and vegetables.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are missing either the ketchup, OR the BBQ, OR the molasses (one of the 3 not all 3), it STILL tastes good without it! Also tomato paste diluted with water to make 1.5 cups, can be substituted for the catsup. I used all 3 called for in the recipe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cook on low 8-10 hours, 10 hours worked great in my older crockpot, then shred the beef in the crock pot with two forks, stir and cook another hour.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serving suggestions (not included in calories and nutrition): Serve on 100% whole wheat buns* with coleslaw, baked beans, and something green such as a side of steamed broccoli or Romaine or spinach salad. *Can be served on a bed of brown rice, couscous, bulgar wheat or quinoa instead of serving on a bun.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This recipe made 20 half-cup servings, plus 3 additional cups of very flavorful juice. I think I'll use part of the juice when I freeze the beef in single servings, and make gravy with the remaining juice. Also this tasted 3 times better the following day.

This is super-easy to make - I cooked my beef from frozen (I had half a roast already cut up from a previous recipe) for 8 hours on low and put in twice as much garlic. I served it over brown rice and it was a hit! Very flavourful. I'd definitely make it again - maybe next time with carrots. - 7/6/10

This was absolutely delicious. I didn't think it was time-consuming to prep other than trimming all the fat from the meat. I had it for dinner last night and lunch today, and it's terrific as leftovers; my husband and daughter loved it too. Going to freeze half for another time. Thanks! - 2/23/10

Question: What kind of vinegar is recommended? - 8/25/09
Reply from CAROL_ (8/25/09)
Hello DMHORNE, thanks for your question. Click on "ingredients detail" and you'll see apple cider vinegar listed. However, it's unspecifed b/c you can use whatever you have on hand. I have used both white & apple cider with tasty results. Balsamic works well too, but adds a few calories. Enjoy!

This recipe was great! I used a 4 pound brisket and it came out beautiful.My husband couldn't stop eating it. It was also the first time I ever bbqed anything in a crock pot. I love bbqing in the crock pot. Next time I'll try pork. By the way, love it that it's lower in sodium that other recipe - 8/4/09
