This juicy shredded beef is so popular at summer gatherings. The tender meat is slow-cooked in a savory sauce that includes tomato paste, brown sugar, molasses and chili powder. It makes a big batch...enough for seconds! -Colleen Nelson, Mandan, North Dakota More BBQ Beef Recipes »

The beef came out SO tender!! My husband doesn't like spicy foods and we are not big onion fans so I cut the chili powder down to 1 tablespoon and only used half the onion. It was just enough spice and flavor. I think next time I make this I am going to add some more brown sugar...I'm a sweet bbq fan. Definitely a good recipe.

This recipe is a real winner. We have made it several times for Labor Day BBQ and for informal get-togethers. It allows us to have a low-fuss but home cooked meal and guests always rave!

I lost my recipe that I got from a friend almost identical to this one, and when I saw this one I knew my search was over. All of my family loved this recipe, and I have 3 up and coming cooks to share with.

As I was making this, I was really concerned about adding two teaspoons of salt on top of all the products I'd added that already had salt in them. After cooking it for 8 hours, though, it does not taste overly salty at all even though the sodium content is high. All the juices from the vegetables and the meat really dilute the spices. The sauce truly does turn out delicious! It does have a little kick to it, so if you prefer bland food, you'd probably have to cut back on the chili powder. To me, it's perfect! It smells wonderful while cooking and I would definitely make it again. Next time, though, I'm doubling it! It's so good it won't last long with two grown men in this house!

My picky family delighted in eating these sandwiches. Being southern we added home made creamy cole slaw on them. Yummy!

I used the sauce from this recipe to save an overcooked tenderloin. I sliced the meat into thin slices, then covered it in the sauce for a couple of hours in the crockpot. Mission accomplished. I'll come back to this recipe when I need a good barbecue sauce.

»I`ve made this recipe twice and it is sooo good! The flavor is amazing and it`s just saucy enough to go on buns. It`s a keeper in my recipe box, super easy for large group of people or potluck.
