Easy Slow Cooker BBQ Beef Recipe

 
Ingredients:

3 pound beef chuck roast
1 1/2 cups BBQ Sauce
6 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
salt and pepper

Directions:

Place the beef in the slow cooker. Cut 12 deep slits spread out over the surface of all sides of the roast. Press 1/2 clove of garlic into each slit. Sprinkle both sides of roast with salt and pepper. Add BBQ sauce and turn roast to coat all sides. Cook on low 7 to 8 hours or until meat shreds easily by pulling it apart with two forks.

To serve, place on sturdy buns like kaiser rolls, or just serve on a plate alongside mashed potatoes (which is how my husband likes it).

Enjoy!!

This recipe is a perfect appetizer for a St. Patrick’s Day party. It is also a good way to use up any extra corned beef left after the big day.  It could be called “almost a reuben” dip.
16 oz can sauerkraut, drained
8 oz cream cheese
8 oz sour cream
3 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 pound thin chopped corned beef

Mix all ingredients together and heat in a medium saucepan over medium low heat until heated through. Serve on rye bread rounds or wheat crackers.

This recipe for enchilada sauce is easy to make and sooo good!  Once you try it, you’ll give up the pre-made version for good.  If you use enchilada sauce frequently, make a double (or triple) batch and freeze the extra until you’re ready to use it.

1/4 cup canola oil
2 Tbsp. flour
2 Tbsp. chili powder
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat.  Stir in the flour and chili powder and cook while stirring until well blended.  Slowly add the tomato sauce, water and remaining ingredients.  Stir until smooth and cook until sauce thickens.
