How to Make BBQ Beef in a Crock Pot
There are so few steps to preparing this dinner. It’s perfect if you don’t feel like spending much time in the kitchen.
- Step 1. Add the chuck roast, BBQ sauce, half of the bacon, onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, brown sugar, and half the jalapenos into the crock pot. Make sure the beef is fully covered in all of the ingredients.
- Step 2. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. It’s ready when the beef easily falls apart.
- Step 3. Using 2 forks, shred the cooked beef.
- Step 4. Drain some of the liquid from the crock pot, but leave a little to keep the beef moist.
- Step 5. Add shredded BBQ beef and sliced Colby jack cheese to the buns.
- Step 6. Top with remaining bacon and jalapenos, and then the crispy onions. Enjoy!
What to Serve With a BBQ Beef Sandwich
You can serve whatever side you like with these pulled beef sandwiches or just enjoy them on their own! I like to keep it easy so my go-to favorite side dishes are Copycat KFC Coleslaw and Broccoli Salad. I like to add coleslaw to my sandwich for extra crunch and tang. If I have my slow cooker out, I am avoiding the stove!
How to Store Leftovers
Leftovers of this slow cooker pulled beef can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. It can be reheated in the microwave.
Tips and Tricks
- Swap the Colby Jack cheese for your favorite! I’ve used cheddar, swiss, provolone, and pepper jack with these sandwiches.
- Use whatever brand of BBQ sauce you prefer. My favorite flavor to use is hickory brown sugar but you can go with something more smokey or spicy instead!
- Since the jalapenos aren’t as spicy cooked, there isn’t a lot of heat. If you want to tone down the spice, don’t add the extra jalapenos to your sandwich.
- Enjoy topped on a hot dog or baked potato instead of a bun.

Made this recipe today and it was delicious!! I couldn’t find canned jalapeños at my store so ended up using a small can of mild diced green chilies. Cooked on high for 5 hours; shredded like butter, then left the crockpot on warm until dinner time. It was so darn good. Can’t wait for the leftovers tomorrow! Thanks for a great recipe!! Will definitely make this again.
Thanks Sarah!
