Used slightly less tomato sauce and added some spicy BBQ sauce to cut down on the tomato flavor. Cooked on low for about 9 hours. Delicious.
Charles Porter
Thanks for the recipe.
Katie Flores
Delicious! I shredded the beef, thickened the sauce with cornstarch, and served it over buttered egg noodles. Thanks for a great meal!

After reading other reviews, I added more garlic, few dashes of worchestershire sauce, beef broth instead of beef bouilllon and two tablespoon of honey to the recipe. Used a Dutch oven and cooked for five hours on low heat. The beef was very tender. My kids loved it on a bun or on white rice. Will definitely make it again! -lilmaggee

OMG this was so good. My husband and friends want it again

This was a really easy recipe, however like the rest of these reviews I feel you do have to add some more ingredients. I added Sweet Baby Ray’s original BBQ sauce, didnt measure it, just tasted it to see if it tasted good :). I cooked it on high for about 7 hours and then took it out and shredded it. I put it back in and added a little more SBR and added some Open Pit as well. Really good so far. Waiting for my husband to come in from hunting and then we will put it on some Kaiser rolls 🙂

My slow cooker was out of order so made it in the oven in 3-4 hrs and it was excellent!
Dawn Allison
This was really good even with my changes. I didn’t have tomato sauce, I had a jar of store brand pasta sauce 28 oz (used the whole jar) I also didn’t have mustard powder on hand so I used 2 tbs of spicy mustard. I also added extra chili powder… While I was making it I thought Man this is going to be a waste, but to my surprise… WoW it turned out well. :o)

This was amazing!! I followed the directions completely, except for using less onion and chili powder and I used a teaspoon of regular mustard in place of mustard powder. I also added about 1/4 cup of Karo syrup. It was amazing! The first go round we served it over white rice with corn & green beans. Then the leftovers we ate on hamburger buns with a little mustard and pickles & potato chips on the side. Excellent use of a roast! My husband was very pleased! THANK YOU!

Very Easy and tasty, I’m new to the cooking world and this recipe was easy to follow.. My husband and Dad loved it even my 11 yr old son had no complaints.
Joshua Parsons
This was delicious. I followed the recipe with only one exception…I used about 2 cups of beef broth instead of bouillon. It was great over mashed potatoes…
Kathy Benson
I cooked it for 8 hours at low and it was perfect…Excellent!

made this for dinner tonight and LOVED it. My boyfriend said it was one of the best dinners Ive made. I had a 2.5lb roast, and used a small can of tomato sauce then filled half the can with bbq sauce and added that. Didnt have any mustard powder, so didnt use it. I served this with coleslaw on top…I ate mine as an open faced sandwich with a fork. I put it on at noon and at 5 I pulled the whole roast out and shredded it, and threw out the fat, but it back in the crock continued cooking on high and ate it at 7. I will make this again and again!

This was my first crock pot recipe and it came out great. The extra ingredients suggested by vogue9 helped. Thanks for an easy, tasty recipe.
Matthew Alexander
Easy to make and my family and coworkers loved it
David Green
Really enjoyed this! Didn’t change a thing to the original recipe and it was flavorful and extremely tender. The roast fell apart when I touched it with a fork to shred it! Great on sandwich buns and in wraps. Thanks for the submission!
Eric Smith
Great technique! The sauce was good, but not better than my favorite bbq from the jar.
Nichole Yu
This was amazing – after 8 hours in the crockpot, the beef just broke apart into shreds. I will make this again and again!!
David Martin
Easy and delicious.
