BEEF BAR BQ RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef; drain fat.
• Pour in tomato and French onion soups. Fill each can a quarter full with water to rinse the cans out. Pour into meat mixture. Add ketchup and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly.
• Let simmer for 30 minutes. Serve on hamburger buns.

Steps:

• Trim beef to remove fat; cut meat into large cubes about 2" x 2" (save fat & meat trimmings for latter).
• Coat the bottom of a large crock-pot cooker with a little olive or canola oil to prevent sticking, then place meat in the cooker with the onion, Cajun spice, and garlic.
• Mix together remaining ingredients (sauce) and pour over meat.
• Cover and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours, or until meat shreds easily - stir once or twice during cooking if you can.
• Remove the meat & onion from cooker with a slotted spoon and shred the meat with a potato masher or 2 forks, then pour about 1/2 cup of the sauce over the meat - serve with the remaining sauce on the side for those people that would like more sauce (or just save the extra sauce for other uses latter).
• If you not afraid of a few extra calories, boil the trimmed off meat & fat with a cup of water in the microwave (or on the stove) and then add just the "liquid" from that to the crock-pot. I like to trim the fat off the meat because not everyone likes fat in their sandwich, but the fat is full of flavor :).
