Barbecued Beef

Over the weekend I bought a slow cooker.  If any of you have easy to make recipes that I can start in the morning and have ready when I get home after work… PLEASE share them. Here’s one I found I’m going to try. 

Barbecued Beef

1 1/2 cups ketchup

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons prepared Dijon-style mustard

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 (4 pound) boneless chuck roast

DIRECTIONS In a large bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, red wine vinegar, Dijon-style mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Stir in salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place chuck roast in a slow cooker. Pour ketchup mixture over chuck roast. Cover, and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours. Remove chuck roast from slow cooker, shred with a fork, and return to the slow cooker. Stir meat to evenly coat with sauce. Continue cooking approximately 1 hour.

Spoon meat onto toasted sandwich buns, and top with additional barbecue sauce.
