Some days I just totally dig me some good ‘ol BBQ beef. It’s so yummy and saucy 🙂 There’s just something about summer that screams BBQ…am I right or am I right? The greatest thing is that I have a recipe for you that not only tastes great but is also made in the crockpot so it’s super easy to make, especially if you are entertaining a crowd, and it’s summertime, and you are pregnant, and it’s freakin’ humid outside.
This recipe takes the barbecue (grill-wise) out of BBQ and makes entertaining a snap…

Yee Haw!
Delish!
Ok, so here is how the recipe goes down:

Ok, so there’s my frozen rump roast and my bottle of root beer. In case your wondering the rootbeer gives the beef a nice sweet flavor to compliment the tang in the barbecue sauce…really good!! You could also use a can of coca-cola too but I think there is just something about the root beer!
Here is my beef all shredded up and ready for the barbecue sauce…the root beer is down the kitchen sink drain at this point.
I like to serve these sandwiches with these yummy pickle chips, Famous Dave’s Signature Spicy kind. They are like a cross between a bread n’ butter pickle (which I find absolutely yucky) and a spicy pickle…a waaay good combination if you can believe it!
Alright, I think it’s time to eat!
Enjoy an easy weekend BBQ on me!
YUMMERS!
Yummy I think im going to have this on next weeks menu
Thanks

I love BBQ beef! I make my own BBQ sauce using a can of diet soda & a cup of ketchup. It tastes so yummy & I can even get the hubby to eat it even though its semi healthier than other sauces!
Ooooohhhh, for some reason I never thought to use root beer…I will have to try this, yum! Thanks for the idea.
I never thought of rootbeer either, sounds great though and I love Famous Dave’s Sauce as well!
This sounds marvelous, it looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it out!
Thank you once again :o)
