I’m kind of obsessed with pulled anything. Chicken, pork or beef… shred it up, toss it with some BBQ sauce, slap it on a roll, topped with some homemade slaw and I’ll have the biggest cheshire smile you’ve ever seen.
Slightly sweet, a bit tangy, this BBQ shredded beef is so easy to make. Plus, you get to rave about making your very own sauce. Simply brown the meat, mix the sauce together, throw it in a slow cooker for 8 hours and shred it with two forks.
I can’t wait to make this in a few months for summer get-togethers and then football parties in the fall. Maybe with a toppings bar, too? Pickles, lettuce, slaw… or, perhaps an addition to some loaded nachos? Mmmm!
This is a dish with tons of flavor and one that will impress friends. Get cooking!
