Sharon's Ono Barbecue Beef

Ingredients

• 3 lbs boneless chuck roast
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1 1/2 cups catsup (preferably Heinz)
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1/4-1/3 cup packed brown sugar (depending on taste)
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, minced or 2-3 garlic cloves, minced

Directions

1. 1

   Place chuck roast into a crock pot.

2. 2

   Combine remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl.

3. 3

   Pour barbecue sauce over meat.

4. 4

   Cover& cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours.

5. 5

   Remove roast from crock pot& shred meat with two forks.

6. 6

   Place shredded meat back into crock pot& stir to coat meat with sauce.

7. 7

   Cook for 15 or 20 minutes with lid off on high to reduce sauce. (Lately, I have been transferring the sauce to a pot on the stove top & reducing it while I shred the meat. The other way will work, but the stove top is more efficient.).

8. 8

   Note: Sharon recommends cutting back just a bit on the vinegar.
