Whether you need a delicious recipe for entertaining or an easy meal for any night of the week, my recipe for BBQ Beef is just what you’re looking for. It uses only 3 ingredients, so takes just minutes to pull together and then lets your slow cooker do all of the work.
Just place a chuck roast in your slow cooker, add some barbecue sauce and canned tomatoes…then set it and forget it. It’s so simple, you can get this going before work and come home to a dinner that’s ready to eat.
It’s also great for summer barbecues when you don’t want to be slave to the grill. You can even make this the day before. I served it here on slider buns, but you can serve in tortillas, over rice or over mashed cauliflower if you’re watching those carbs.
If you happen to have any leftovers, this also freezes well. I just put the leftovers in small plastic containers and freeze for those nights when I need something in a hurry.
