Crockpot Shredded Beef

This recipe could almost be called "What to do with Another simmering roast", but I decided to stick with the more descriptive Crockpot Shredded Beef. This is a sweet and tangy shredded barbeque beef recipe that I mostly came up with on my own. While I looked through many, many crockpot barbeque beef recipes I found that I either didn't have all the ingredients or I didn't like some of the ingredients. So I blended a few of the recipes together and came up with this one, and it turned out great. We ate this on warmed Kaiser rolls, leftovers from my father-in-law's 60th birthday party, but this could be served just as is or in a wrap or taco. Crockpot shredded beef reheats really well in the microwave, or you can drain off the juices and give a quick reheating fry in a hot skillet, which changes the texture in a really neat way.  

Crockpot Shredded Beef.

 Serves about 6, depending on the size of your roast 

5 to 8 hours (5 on high, 8 on low) 

approx. 4 lb simmering roast, like blade or other pot roast 

1 large cooking onion, halved then sliced 

1 cup water 

2 Tablespoons beef bouillon powder (about 4 packets) 

1 tsp dried oregano leaves 

1 tsp. chili powder 

hot sauce, to taste, OR 1/4 tsp chipotle chile powder OR cayenne (optional) 

1/2 cup barbeque sauce, bottled or homemade 

1/4 cup ketchup 

1/4 cup vinegar 

1/4 cup brown sugar 

1/2 cup water (swish in the measuring cup used for the other ingredients) 

1 Tablespoon Worchestershire sauce 

Place roast and onions in the crockpot. In a saucepan on the stove, bring the rest of the ingredients just to a boil. Pour over the roast and onions in the crockpot, put the lid on and cook for 5 or 6 hours on low, or 8 or 9 hours on high. The beef should be falling apart. Shred the beef with two forks (it should shred very easily), and leave in the crockpot on high, uncovered, for about 30 minutes. The sauce should thicken slightly - this beef will be very saucey, no matter what. Serve on Kaiser rolls, in a wrap, or on a taco with your favourite toppings.
