recipe review: texas beef bbq

hi kids!

i'm writing with a very satisfied stomach...the beef bbq was delish!

1 beef sirloin roast
1 can spicy hot v8 juice (5-1/2 oz.)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground mustard
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1/8 tsp. pepper
kaiser rolls, split

cut roast in half, place in 5 qt. slow cooker. combine seasonings, juice, sauce etc in a separate bowl and pour over roast. cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until roast is tender. remove meat, cool slightly. shred with 2 forks and return to slow cooker. cook through. serve on kaiser rolls

my tips:
d prepped everything the night before and put the crock pot insert in the fridge over night. this morning, he set it up on low and we let it cook all day--it had been about 10 hours by the time we got home and got dinner ready. the meat was really tender and perfect for the sammiches. we added some bbq sauce and a slice of american cheese and they were perfect.

this recipe make a LOT of food--so we'll be eating it for the next few days. good thing it's tasty.

i will say, this one set us back a little more than usually, cost-wise, because we didn't have some of the kitchen basics (seasonings, etc.) but i'm glad we got them b/c i know they'll come in handy down the road.

we got lucky when we were looking for the roast--i was about to get 2 separate sirloin tip roasts that were about $15 each to total the 4 lbs called for, but we spoke to the butcher and he said the english roast (which was buy one get one free!) would work just as well in the recipe.

in the future, if there isn't a sale like this one, i'd probably just cut the recipe in half to avoid spending too much on the beef.

anyway--the recipe was really good...definitely making this one again.

enjoy!
