These Slow Cooker BBQ Beef Sandwiches contain minimal ingredients and then topped with your favorite BBQ sauce! The perfect easy sandwich recipe!

Slow Cooker BBQ Beef Sandwiches are a staple meal you and your family will love year round! I know that we do and make these any chance we get!

Although, there is just something super comforting about these sandwiches during the fall and winter months. Plus, they are perfect football food!

My husband and I have always been huge lovers of barbecue, on the weekends we would always go searching for new spots to try out!

We are obsessed. we have accepted this. I love that we can make some of our favorite sandwiches right at home any day of the week.

These BBQ Beef Sandwiches are made from a super inexpensive cut of beef – chuck roast. This also makes a ton of beef, so depending on the size of your family, you will most likely get multiple dinners out of one chuck roast.

Which is perfectly fine for us because we love eating leftovers, and since this is one meal that we already love we have no issues eating it over and over again!

Some of my other favorite sandwich recipes we have on our site include: Crock Pot French Dip Sandwiches, Mustard Grilled Chicken Sandwiches and Pulled Pork Sliders!

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:

The meat is so versatile and can be used for more than just sandwiches.
This makes a lot so you can serve a larger family or have leftovers.
Using your favorite BBQ sauce lets you make it your own favorite flavor.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED (FULL RECIPE BELOW):

Chuck roast
Kosher salt
Pepper
Vegetable oil
Beef stock
BBQ sauce
Brioche hamburger buns

HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER BBQ BEEF SANDWICHES:

Season beef on all sides with salt and pepper.
Add olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and sear beef on all sides until deep golden brown.
Take the beef out and place it in the slow cooker. Deglaze pan on the stove with the beef stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to remove all the yummy bits. Pour everything over the beef in the slow cooker.
Cook on high for 2-4 hours or low for 4-6 hours or until beef is so tender it shreds. Drain liquid and set aside.
Place the beef onto a plate or cutting board. Shred beef, removing any excess fat. Place beef back into the slow cooker on the warm setting.
Add about 1/2 cup of the stock back to the cooker. Add the BBQ sauce and stir to combine.
Serve on slider buns with more bbq sauce if desired.

WHAT IS THE BEST BEEF FOR THIS?

We love using a beef chuck roast, it is cheap and it is a great cut of meat that works super well in the slow cooker. This is our go-to when we are slow cooking.

Other favorites we like but don’t use as often are skirt steak and brisket. They are more expensive cuts of meat, but also turn out really tender.

You can choose what type of meat you’d like to use most, but for cost you cant get much better than a basic chuck roast.

WHAT ELSE CAN I USE THIS MEAT FOR?

So the best thing about this is that you don’t just have to use it for sandwiches. You can use the Slow Cooked BBQ Beef for other things.

Some other recipes can include tacos, tostadas, mix into macaroni and cheese, serve over mashed potatoes, nachos and so much more.

Whatever you would like to add this to you pretty much can! It is a great meat to eat on it’s own as well, but we still love it as the BBQ Beef Sadnwiches.

HOW TO STORE:

The beef itself can be stored in an airtight container or ziptop bag in the refrigerator or up to 3 days.

This can also be frozen, let cool and place in a freezer bag and it should keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let defrost in refrigerator overnight and you can reheat in the microwave.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

Chuck Roast is our go-to for this recipe, but skirt steak and brisket can also be used.
