Make this slow cooker bbq beef for easy delicious sandwiches all year long. Serve for backyard parties or game day viewing and let the slow cooker do all the work.
Today I’m sharing the recipe for this delicious slow cooker bbq beef that makes fantastic sandwiches for entertaining. If you haven’t decided on your fathers day meal yet, this is a great recipe to make as you can prepare it ahead giving you plenty of free time to pamper dad. Plus, this meaty main dish is a palate pleaser for most men I know.
Most people use their slow cooker in the fall and winter months, but it’s also a godsend in the hot summer months too. You can cook for a crowd without being tied to a grill or heating up the kitchen with the oven. I grew up eating pulled pork sandwiches all year round so these sort of remind me of that.
If you’re hosting a party in the back yard just pull out the warm crock from the slow cooker and set it on the table surround by a towel to protect hands and surfaces from the heat. Then just provide buns and of course some southern slaw for the best sandwiches to feed a crowd.
Keep this slow cooker bbq beef recipe handy and make it for Sunday games, Super Bowl, or any Fall gathering. Serve with chips and baked beans for a tasty meal.

Sounds delicious, and I am happy to find something that doesn’t tie me down to the kitchen when everyone else is having a fun time elsewhere! This is a recipe I would use all year round! Pinning and sharing! – Chloe
Chris says
I couldn’t agree more, Chloe! I don’t know why we seem to forget about the slow cooker in summertime. It’s really a perfect solution.
Sandra says
Are you sure it’s bottom round roast, wouldn’t a beef chuck roast be better? I would think a bottom round would be too tough to shred.
Chris says
You can use beef chuck if you like, Sandra. But that’s the beauty of the slow cooker – the meat always comes out tender and moist!
