BBQ Beef Sandwiches

These were first served at Jacob and Sharon’s rehearsal dinner on October 7, 1999.

3 lbs. roast beef, cubed
2 C. onions, chopped
2 green peppers, chopped
2 tsp. salt
2 T. chili powder, or as desired
1 can tomato soup
1/2 C. brown sugar
1/4 C. cider vinegar
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. dry mustard

Combine all ingredients in crock pot. Cook on high 8 hours. Stir with wire whisk until meat is shredded. Makes about 12 sandwiches.

NOTE: When I make a larger batch, I roast the beef in a very slow oven until tender. Shred the beef and put in the crock pot with the other ingredients and cook for several hours. You can also use a combination of both beef and pork roast for this recipe.

BBQ Beef and Pork Sandwiches

4 lbs. (total) beef and/or pork roast

MIX TOGETHER:
1 large can tomato sauce
1 4 oz. catsup
1 C. water
2 T. lemon juice
2 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 T. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. mustard
1 medium onion, minced
1/2 C. celery, chopped
Salt and pepper

Place the beef or pork in 275º oven for 4 hours. Shred roast. Add the sauce. Place in slow cooker and cook until veggies are done to your liking. This is really better the second day when the ingredients have blended. I sometimes mix it up, let it set in the refrigerator overnight, and then start cooking in the early afternoon for dinner, or make the day before and then reheat.
