Slow Cooker Beef Sammiches.

This one is quick and easy. Not a ton of ingredients.... so not time consuming.

Ingredients:
  • 3 pounds Chuck Roast, Boneless
  • 1 Large onion, sliced,
  • 1/2 Distilled White Vinegar
  • 1 Pack Hidden Valley Ranch Dry Mix
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 1 TBSP Water
  • Bread
  • Cheese
  • Salt and Pepper to taste




Get your crock-pot preheated on low heat. Peel and slice onions. Liberally apply salt and pepper on both sides of the meat. Mince your garlic.

Put the sliced onions in the bottom of the crockpot. They'll kind of act as a set of stilts for your beef at first, so it's not down in the juices immediately.
Put your beef on top of the onions. Mix your vinegar, water, ranch mix, and garlic together and pour into the crockpot.
Let this do its thing for about 7-8 hours. To check and make sure it's ready, jam a fork in it. The meat should fall apart.

Once it's ready, pull out the beef and shred it up like pulled pork.

Set the oven to 350, toss some nice crusty bread in there, and let the inside of the bread toast up a little bit.

Put the beef on your bread, top with whatever you like.

I tossed on some of the onions from the pot, some banana peppers and a slice of mozzarella cheese.

This is easy... not quick, but easy.

Here's the thing... Pork > Beef. .... It's just the way it is.

Not that this is bad... because with a shot of Chipotle BBQ Sauce, it's pretty tasty... But given the choice between pulled beef, and pulled pork, I'm going for the pork. It's cheaper, it's oinkier, and it's generally juicier... But, that's my opinion. If beef is how you like to get down, this might be the ticket for you. If so, remember where you heard about it.
