Slow Cooker Barbecued Beef

This is DELICIOUS, and so easy! To make it even easier to assemble on a busy morning, prepare the sauce the night before, refrigerate, and just dump it all in the Crock Pot the next day!


1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 tsp liquid smoke flavoring
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 to 4 lb boneless chuck roast

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except for roast. Place roast in slow cooker, and pour ketchup mixture over the top. Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours. Remove roast from slow cooker, shred with a fork, and return. Stir meat evenly to coat with sauce and continue cooking for approximately 1 hour.
