CROCKPOT SHREDDED BEEF BARBECUE

CROCKPOT SHREDDED BEEF BARBECUE

Some recipes call for shredded beef barbecue to be cooked all together… with both the sauce and the beef in the crockpot.  For me, this can result in a sauce that is a bit OVER caramelized, especially on the sides of the slow cooker.

• 2 Tbsp yellow mustard
• 2/3 cup beef broth
• 1 tsp liquid smoke (optional)
• 3 - 4 Tbsp unsalted butter (sliced)

BARBECUE SAUCE
