It’s easy to prepare a delicious barbecue without having to light a single coal. We have two recipes that result in a finger-lickin’ good barbecue, but rely on either a slow cooker or the oven – BBQ Beef Sandwiches (recipe below) and BBQ Chicken. Each recipe features our spicy ‘n sweet Oklahoma BBQ Sauce, that’s perfect not only for these chicken and beef recipes, but for pork and ribs, too. What’s even better is that once you make this sauce (you get more than a quart from a single batch!) you can keep it refrigerated almost indefinitely.

These sandwiches are delicious served with Dorothy’s Potato Salad.

  1. I’m confused. Your recipe says after you’ve slow cooker cooked it all those hours then you have to cook it for 4-6 MORE hours with the sauce? Is that right? If the meat is falling apart enough to be shredded why would it need more cooking for so long?

    1. Hi Tracie,
      The second round of slow cooking is to infuse the BBQ sauce flavor into the beef. You could certainly reduce the cook time down to 1-2 hours if you want.

  2. These look fabulous…they’ll be coming to a cookout at our house soon, that’s for sure!
