Helpful Hints:
|
Kids may need adult supervision preparing this recipe.
Adding barbecue sauce to cooked roast is an easy way to make quick barbecued sandwiches. When you take the meat from the slow cooker, you may need to let the roast cool just a few minutes before you pull it apart. Use two forks to pull or shred the meat.
Try serving the barbecued meat in a pita, on a pizza or roll it up in a tortilla. Or chill the meat in the fridg, slice it and make roast beef sandwiches on whole wheat bread.

Safety Tip:
|
If you’re using beef from the freezer, remember to thaw it in the refrigerator, in a bag under cold running water or in the microwave oven before placing it is the slow cooker. You may need to plan ahead if the roast is more than 2 pounds. A roast this size could take up to two days to defrost in the refrigerator. Just remember to thaw the meat before cooking.
If the meat is fresh, keep it in the refrigerator at 40 degrees no longer than 3 to 5 days before cooking.
