Most of you know that I grew up in Texas.  Texas has some of the BEST barbecue, in my opinion.   A year after we were married we moved to Pennsylvania and I had a HARD time finding some of my favorite foods like BBQ and Tex-Mex, so I had to start making my own.  My mother-in-law introduced to me “Liquid Smoke” and I have been using it for years.

Here’s my recipe for the EASIEST Beef BBQ you will ever make!

Ingredients:

• Brisket or Roast (I almost always use a roast because they are cheaper.),
• a bottle of Liquid Smoke (found with the BBQ sauce)
• a bottle of favorite BBQ sauce.

1.  Put the meat in a gallon freezer bag and pour the entire bottle of Liquid Smoke over it.  Let it marinate for about 6 hours or overnight.
2. Pour the contents of the bag into a slow cooker with a little bit of water and set on LOW for approximately 8 hours.  The meat should be falling apart.

 Take the meat out and shred it with a fork.  Also, clean out the slow cooker of all the juices.  Place the shredded meat back into the slow cooker and lightly coat it with barbecue sauce.  Now it’s ready to eat!!

I typically use a 2 lb. roast and it makes enough for our family of 4 to have two meals.

This is also a great meal for large get-togethers because you can leave it warming in the slow cooker.
