BBQ CrockPot Shredded Beef

Beef on a Bun is a very Alberta meal. It is the go-to staple at cookouts and Stampede Parties throughout the summer. Usually, beef on a bun is sliced but I love the ease of CrockPot shredded beef.

The shredded beef stays moist and it is easier to stretch for a big crowd. Plus when it is in the slow cooker, it’s no big deal if you eat a bit later than expected (which ALWAYS happens at our house).

Since you make this in the CrockPot, it is the perfect make-ahead meal for a big cookout or party. Need Beef on a Bun for a Crowd? Use a few slow cookers and you’ll have enough to feed an army. The best part is that you have to put out almost no effort at all to make a massive amount of this stuff! Love a great beef recipe in the Crockpot?

Easy Summer Entertaining Menu

Grab buns and make a few delicious side dishes like baked mac and cheese, coleslaw, Golden beet salad, Red Cabbage Coleslaw and broccoli salad. If you want another crockpot recipe, whip up a batch of Crockpot Baked Beans. For dessert, you can’t go wrong with my Banana Pudding for a crowd, no-bake strawberry cream pie, or Coca Cola cake.

Whatever sides, desserts, and drinks you choose, you’ll quickly see that this BBQ CrockPot shredded beef will be the star of the show. This tender BBQ beef is cooked for hours in the Crock-Pot which makes it super tasty and juicy.

Since our shredded beef is cooked in a bbq type sauce, you don’t need a lot of condiments. We do recommend having some pickles, sliced red onion, bbq sauce and mustard on hand.

Making Crockpot Shredded Beef

Ingredients

4 pound beef roast, I used an eye of round roast ~4 lbs
1 1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp grainy mustard
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Sriracha
1 tsp Garlic plus, if you use garlic powder, add salt too

Instructions

Place beef roast into slow cooker. In a medium bowl, combine ketchup, sugar, mustard, Worcestershire, sriracha and garlic plus. Pour mixture over roast.

Cook in the slow cooker for 7-9 hours on low or 5-6 hours on high. About an hour before you want it to be done, remove roast, trim off any fat and discard it, and shred with forks.

Return meat to the sauce and cook approximately 1 more hour.

Serve on buns.
