If you haven’t already noticed, I’m a big fan of my slow cooker. I use it at least once a week because it’s a great time-saver. I throw some ingredients into the pot in the morning, and dinner is hot and waiting for us at the end of the day. It’s like magic!

Another thing that’s like magic? This Slow Cooker Beef Barbecue! It reminds me of the beef barbecue that my mom makes on the stovetop – sweet, tender, and full of flavor. Pure comfort food, in my book!

Ingredients – Here’s What You’ll Need;

  • Beef Chuck Roast
  • Onion
  • Barbecue Sauce
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Liquid Smoke
  • Garlic Powder
  • Sandwich Buns (optional)

Slow cooker beef BBQ on a bun with a side of chips

So even though Keith is a master smoker and makes the best smoked barbecue around town, I rely on these sandwiches for a satisfying weeknight meal when my resident Smoke Master is otherwise occupied. And by the way — Keith and the boys totally give this dinner the stamp of approval!

Serve the barbecue sandwiches with coleslaw or salad and potato chips on the side, and your family will be very happy!

What To Do With Leftovers

If you have left-overs, the meat freezes really well. A good way to switch it up? Stuff the extra barbecue in tacos, in quesadillas, on pizza, or inside a baked potato!

  1. Aren’t slow cookers the best? I use mine all the time, and couldn’t live without it. Love the looks of this barbecue beef, Blair! I always make bbq pork, but I will have to try the beef version. Looks so good for sandwiches!

  2. Love my slow cooker!! We just had slow cooker BBQ pulled pork yesterday and it is always a sure hit! Will have to try it with beef next time.

    1. We love the beef as an easy alternative to pork. I hope that you get to try it, Jennifer! 🙂
