My younger sister, Jean, shared this recipe with me. It puts a twist on the traditional barbecue sandwich, and it has been proven to be a crowd-pleaser. Plus, it's incredibly convenient to make in the slow cooker. —Donna Blankenheim, Madison, Wisconsin

Ingredients

1 boneless beef chuck roast (3 to 4 pounds)
1 jar (16 ounces) whole dill pickles, undrained
1/2 cup chili sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
12 hamburger buns, split
Giardiniera, optional

Directions

Cut roast in half and place in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add pickles with juice, chili sauce and garlic. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until beef is tender.
Discard pickles. Remove roast. When cool enough to handle, shred the meat. Return to the slow cooker and heat through. Using a slotted spoon, fill each bun with about 1/2 cup meat mixture. If desired, top meat with giardiniera.

Thanks for posting this! I found it years ago in one of the Taste of Living magazines and lost it. This is great for those who don't really care for 'sweet' BBQ!

This was amazingly good. I can't even eat dill pickles normally. My husband rates this as the best way to eat shredded beef.
