Barbecue Beef Sandwiches

A new favorite since I can put it in my crockpot and walk away. I bought soft rolls from Kneaders, a small roast, and halved the sauces for the original recipe I found in The Essential Mormon Cookbook (listed below). It was just right for a small family.

Barbecue Beef Sandwiches

Ingredients from Mormon Cookbook

1 (6 lb) beef roast, sirloin tip works well
1 onion, chopped
2 tbl butter
2 c ketchup
1 c packed brown sugar
2 tbl Worcestershire sauce
1/2 c barbecue sauce
1 dozen large soft rolls

Alexie's directions for 3-lb Roast in Crockpot:
1- Saute chopped onion in butter. Move to crockpot.
2- Brown roast on each side then place in crockpot.
3- Turn crockpot on low. Cook roast and onions for 1-2 hours then combine ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce and pour into crockpot. Cover and let cook for about 4 hours (remember I used a small roast and 1/2 the sauce listed above).
4- Remove roast (leave sauces in pot) and cut or shred in very thin slices. Return to crockpot to soak up the sauces.
5- Serve on sliced rolls. Makes about 8 medium-sized sandwiches.

I found another recipe that said to brown the roast before putting it in the crockpot, and then to cook it w/out the sauces for a bit first. I tried it this week and my roast just fell apart when I shredded it. I didn't even have to use a knife, just pulled it apart with two forks. Now it could have been that I just had a better raost, but it was fabulous! So I adjusted the recipe here to reflect the changes I made. Hope it helps.
