Summertime meals are a funny thing, but what isn’t funny is how crazy good these Saucy Beef Sandwiches are! What are your favorite foods or dishes to make during the summer? We grill a lot which is fantastic, but I’m always looking for new things to try without heating up the house!
I find the seasons of Iowa to be fickle. During the summertime I get tired of “summertime food” and crave a cold day and a good casserole. During the cold winters, I just want to be able to eat a grilled burger! Well, recently between our normal grilling and camping, I was really tired of grilled food, so I threw a roast in the crock-pot for supper that day. The next day I decided to make some barbecue beef sandwiches, but plain old, run of the mill sandwiches held little appeal. I wanted something with a bit deeper, richer taste!
- 3 cups – Beef Churck Roast, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 capful liquid smoke
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon beef soup base/bullion
- 1/2 cup water
- Cook, cool, and shred your beef and place in a small crockpot or slow cooker.
- In a bowl, combine the rest of ingredients.
- Pour mixture over beef and cook on low heat for at least four hours.
This sandwich recipe is super easy, but is hearty and perfect for a hot summer at as it doesn’t require heating the house. We paired ours with hashbrowns and garden fresh green beans. To top off the greatness, there was enough left over for T to have for lunch the next day! That’s three meals off one roast…love that! The beef will also freeze well, so you could make it up and freeze it for a grab and go supper!
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
