Savory Crock Pot Shredded Beef
"Oh my goodness! This beef is so delicious and the aroma while it is cooking is mouth watering. It isn't difficult to prepare- just combine dry rub ingredients and pop in the crock pot. There is no need to add water and the roast comes out so juicy, tender, and flavorful. It is so nice to have an all purpose meat recipe to use in enchiladas, burritos, tacos, casseroles, or in sandwiches. If you make sandwiches, you can leave the meat as is- it is tender and juicy or add your favorite barbeque sauce. I like to freeze it to keep on hand."

This was excellent! I thought the spices in the rub were unusual, but it turned out really good. I cooked mine for about 7 1/2 hours (accidentally - I meant to only go 6) and it was cooked perfectly, with a hint of pink. This is not done enough for it to shred, however. My original intention was to freeze the meat, but I ended up refrigerating it overnight and making fajtas with it the next day, by slicing it and reheating it. I will be using this again, and will try freezing next time. -
I tried this recipe after finding a huge 28 pound chuck chunk on clearance. I ground much of it into hamburger, but cut several four-five pound roasts. I made this as directed, using less than 1 Tbsp onion flakes, since we don't care for onion flavor and without using any spray on the sides of the crockpot. It was marvelous! I will definitely be making this every few weeks through the summer. -
It's hard for me to rate this, because I don't make it exactly the same. I use the same spice rub, but then I add 1 chopped onion, 6 slices bacon, and 2 cups of Sweet Baby Ray's Chipotle BBQ Sauce. It ends up being perfect for shredded bbq sandwiches, which are even yummier with some horseradish coleslaw on top. Thanks for posting!

This was outstanding, and SO easy. Thanks for posting! We loved it. -
Like other reviewers, I was hesitant to make meat in a crockpot without browning or adding a little liquid. This beef browns up nicely on its own and tastes very good. Next time I will cut back on the salt--it didn't overpower, but is certainly noticeable. Thanks for an easy and versatile meat recipe using many favorite spices.

Very flavorful. I ate mine as it was cooked and hubby put bbq sauce on his. We both enjoyed it. I did use dried parsley flakes in place of marjoram as I was out of marjoram. I think this would be a great filling for pita's.

My all time favorite thing to do is cook and bake. My love for cooking began my first year at college. It has grown into an obsession with recipes. Fortunately, my husband is supportive :) I love the Taste of Home magazines. Most of the recipes I try from their publications are outstanding. I also enjoy running long distances and exercising.
