Super Bowl BBQ Beef

If you are looking for an easy Super Bowl sandwich recipe to please the football fans in your life, definitely take a second and keep reading! This recipe sort of came about as a fluke. I originally planned to make mini pulled pork sandwiches, but I sent the fiancé to the store and he came back with a sixteen dollar beef roast. I was a little irritated at first, but figured it was not worth the effort or time to return a hunk of meat to Kroger and figured I could make it work. Being that I wanted to slow cook dinner, I simply changed up my plan and decided to go with BBQ beef sandwiches instead of pulled pork. The flavor of this BBQ beef is quite delectable and the sauce tastes very similar to Arby’s Sauce, which I love in large doses! This recipe could not be easier and it just might steal the spotlight at your Super Bowl party.

Toss it into the crock pot Sunday morning, and you’ll have the men drooling by game time. I served these up slider style on mini buns with a dollop of homemade cole slaw and alongside potato chips. This made for a very hearty dinner and great leftovers. If you are looking to add something to your Super Bowl Spread, give these a try. Remember to stop back over to let me know how you liked them…I love hearing from my fabulous readers!

BBQ Beef Sandwiches and Sweet Slaw

 Ingredients
3-1/2 pounds beef chuck roast
1 cup water
1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1-1/2 cups ketchup
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic (minced)

Method
1. Place the roast into a slow cooker along with the water. Cover, and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until beef can be easily shredded with a fork.
2. Shred the beef, removing fat as you go. Remove 1/2 cup of the broth from the slow cooker, and reserve for later.
3. In a medium bowl, mix the vinegar, brown sugar, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, honey, salt, pepper, cayenne, crushed red pepper and garlic. Stir into the shredded beef so that the meat is thoroughly coated.
4. Cover, and continue to cook beef on LOW for an additional 4 to 6 hours. Add the reserved broth only if necessary to maintain moisture.

Serve on mini buns, such as King’s Hawaiian rolls and top with cole slaw.

Sweet Cole Slaw
Ingredients
1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix
2 tablespoons diced onion
2/3 cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds

Directions
1. Combine the coleslaw mix and onion in a large bowl.
2. Whisk together the salad dressing, vegetable oil, sugar, vinegar, salt, and poppy seeds in a medium bowl; blend thoroughly. Pour dressing mixture over coleslaw mix and toss to coat. Chill at least 2 hours before serving.

These mini BBQ beef sandwiches look like they would be the perfect guest at a party. They look awesome. The sweet slaw is a nice touch. Isn’t it a drag switching your blog over?Takes some time for everyone to find you again.

This happens to me all. the. time. My husband goes to the store for lettuce and comes back with cabbage (or worse!). Looks like an excellent mistake, though – these look great! I love bbq sandwiches with cole slaw on top!!

You can rub the meat and slow cook it on the grill too if you are looking to add even more flavor. Also, adding some hickory or apple can help add even more.
