THE EATERY IS OPEN: Backyard BBQ Beef Sandwiches

Marion Pellicano Ambrose

Here in Florida, where I live, Spring has sprung! This time year I start to get that “eat outdoors” kind of feeling. Then I thought about all my friends and family up North who are still shoveling snow and came up with an “outdoors, indoors” Spring meal to make! It’s easy, delicious, and will bring that Spring feeling to you even if there’s still a chill in the air!

BBQ Beef Sandwiches

3 pounds boneless chuck roast

2 tbs. Grey Poupon Mustard

2 tbs Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp liquid smoke

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

¼ tsp garlic powder

Place chuck roast in slow cooker. In a large bowl combine remaining ingredients and stir well. Pour over roast. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours (or on high for 4-5 hours).
