  1. Made this for labor day, a little unsure if it would pass for pulled pork barbecue sandwiches. My wife was questioning everything I was putting in the crock pot. I used boneless beef roast that I had on hand plus spices that I thought might work, When I use the crock pot I like to experement. This recipe got me out of slaving over a fire pit to make brisket for pulled pork sandwiches. This was very tasty and a breeze to make, Give this time saver a try
     
  2. I am unclear in the directions. I threw the shredded beef back into the crockpot with all the juices, then warmed up the remaining sauce with ketchup and threw it in the crockpot. I think this may be incorrect. The directions aren't clear. I think i may have to drain off the sauce and make up new sauce.
     
  3. This was really good! It fed a large group of hungry people with even some for left overs.
     
  4. Oh this is sooooo good :0) I doubled the recipe and the whole family went crazy over it. This will be a regular on my things to make. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us. Ri

I am a mother of three and live in central Pennsylvania. My children were very active in after school activities and found we weren't spending anytime together at meal time. In 1998, I decided to start cooking my dinners in a crockpot so that we could have a home cooked meal together once everyone came home. My children now get so excited to see what we are having to eat and love the smell when they walk in the door. My family calls me the crock pot queen. LOL I use my crock pot everyday of the year. <br> <br>My three children are now in college and before they come home they request their favorite meal. I still continue to cook in the crock pot for my husband and I. It is nice after a long day to know your meal is ready. It also helps in keeping my grocery bill down. With zaar, I can print my shopping list and that is all I purchase is the ingredients on that list. <br> <br>Now, my two daughters have been crock pot cooking while in college. They find it is easy to cook for the themselves and their friends. It is an easy way to have friends over for dinner after classes <br> <br>I still love trying new recipes and purchasing cookbooks, especially crock pot cookbooks. <br> <br>Happy Cooking!
