Beef Barbecue

Beef Barbecue

4 – 5 pounds of boneless chuck roast ( I trim the fat after cooking… much easier)

3 large onions rough chopped

32 ounces of Real Coke. Do not use diet. Reserve 8 ounces for later

1 1/2 cups of Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 1/2 Tablespoons white vinegar

3 teaspoons beef bouillon granules.  You can use beef or chicken bouillon cubes too (3)

1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard

1 1/2 teaspoons chile powder

1 teaspoon ground red pepper

6 cloves of garlic minced – you can use the jar kind just use 3 Tablespoons

1 1/2 cup of ketchup

2 Tablespoons butter or margarine

Hamburger buns

Place roast in 6 quart  crock pot; add onion.  Combine the cola and the next 7 ingredients; remove and chill 2 cups of sauce. Pour remaining sauce over roast.  Cover and cook on low for 9 hours or high for 6 till roast is very tender.  Remove roast from cooker and shred with 2 forks.  Discard remaining juice and onions and add meat back to crock pot.

Combine reserved sauce, ketchup, 1/4 -1/2 cup of Coke and butter in a saucepan; cook over medium heat stirring constantly till thoroughly heated.  Pour sauce over shredded meat.  Mix together well and serve onto buns.

This is an easy recipe to divide in half or even quarter.  We are a family of 4 so I love the leftovers for weekend lunches.
