The Best Beef Roast Recipe
Let's face it. Beef roasts need to slow-cook for hours in order to be tender. But cooking something that long can dry it out. So I want to share a recipe for the best beef roast I've ever had! The roast will come out delicious, juicy, and mouth-watering good.
Start with a nice roast, about 3 pounds or so. If its thawed, cut it in half. If its frozen, just go ahead and put it in your crockpot set to low temperature. It will take about an hour longer if you start with a frozen roast, but the results will be just as tasty. Next add one jar of whole dill pickles. Don't drain it first. Just add the entire contents of the jar, juice and all. Then add 1 cup of chili sauce and 2 cloves of garlic. I like to use minced garlic, and since I really like garlic, I usually add a little extra. Stir the pickle juice, chili sauce, and garlic together and spoon some of it over the roast.
Let the roast cook in the crockpot for 8 hours. If its frozen, give it 9 to 10 hours. Stir the juices about once an hour and spoon some more over the roast.
After 8 hours, remove the pickles from the crockpot and discard them. Remove the roast, place it on a cutting board, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then, using two forks, shred the roast as you would for any shredded meat sandwich. This will take some work, but the results are worth it. After the roast has been shredded, return it to the crockpot and mix it well with the juices that remain in the pot. Let it sit for about 15 to 20 minutes to soak up the juices.
Slice about 10 hamburger buns and fill each but with about 1/2 cup of the shredded roast. Spoon just a little bit of sauce over the meat and serve with potato chips or a tossed salad.
The leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days, or it can be kept in the freezer for up to a month. When you're ready to use it, just thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or defrost it in the microwave for a few minutes.
Your friends and family will ask for this again and again. It's perfect if you love eating leftovers for a couple of days, and its also perfect for larger gatherings. It can be made ahead of time and then be reheated before serving.
