BBQ. Did someone say BBQ? Doesn't matter what we are BBQ'ing, I am in! But don't get too excited about this recipe just yet. We aren't really BBQ'ing anything. Sorry about that.
But we are using a homemade BBQ sauce for these delicious BBQ Beef Sandwiches. Maybe one of these days I will figure out how to make the meat on my BBQ over low heat or my smoker. In the meantime, we will settle for making this recipe in the slow cooker.
If you plan on making this BBQ Beef Sandwiches recipe (you should), read the recipe card below before you begin.
While the prep time is pretty quick, it will take anywhere from 5 to 8 hours to cook depending on what temperature you use.
I've made this recipe on HIGH and on LOW. I find that this recipe is best when cooked on low. Not that cooking the meat on High tastes bad, but we prefer the Low method best.
