Today I am excited to share this amazing recipe for Crock Pot Bourbon Barbecue Beef Sandwiches!
I have to send a huge thank you to Albertsons for sponsoring today’s recipe post.
I can’t believe we are already so far into the month! I found a great deal on boneless beef chuck and shoulder pot roasts at Albertsons this week.
Right now Albertsons is offering a $5 off $25 coupon you can print from home!
This is a great way to save on your favorite grocery items
This Crock Pot Bourbon Barbecue Beef Recipe is really easy to make.
Low and slow is the key to this recipe turning out amazing. If you try and cook it on high the meat does not get as tender as you would like. This makes it a lot more work to shred the beef.
I found 8+ hours on low to be the best time for this recipe. After 8 hours the meat is tender and pulls apart easily.
I used John’s favorite barbecue sauce from a trip to Memphis in this recipe. You can easily use your family’s favorite sauce. The recipe only takes a cup of barbecue sauce so this is a great way to clean out a random jar or 2 that you may have on the door of the fridge.
I love being able to clean out the fridge and use up the small amounts that are left over in bottles for these recipes.

Those sandwiches look amazing!! I don’t think we have an Albertson’s near us, our last one closed a few years ago! 🙁
This looks amazing and delicious! I wish I had an Albertson’s near me.
oh my goodness, I am drooling! I love crockpot recipes, this looks great!
I love easy meals you can make in the crock pot. They are such a time saver.
Oh boy, these look amazing. 🙂 Making my mouth water. This sandwich looks perfect.
Oh my mouth is watering! it looks so amazing and I love that it is a simple crock pot recipe! Yum! What a great dinner idea!
Now that looks delish! I love a good bbq sandwich.
I love how popular the crock pot is becoming again. This looks mouth watering. Maybe I’ll make it this weekend for my guest.
Seriously?!?!? I should have seen this just before supper. Now I want this and not what I’m making. 🙂
Those sandwiches look really good. I always love some good barbecue, especially if I can make it myself.
We’ve been thinking about making BBQ sandwiches for supper this week. Never thought to make them in the crockpot. Great idea!
Sharon, It is so easy to make them in the crock pot. They turn out amazing.
I am trying to use the crock pot more and this is a great one to try! I like that it can cook for so long – so I can do it early and not worry about it till after work! Looks delish 🙂
Jenny, Let me know if I can answer any questions about the crock pot. I try to use ours at least 3-4 times a week
You are so thoughtful Tammilee !! I really DO Have a question… when I was reading this I was apprehensive because sometimes my beef comes out good but often it is chewy and tough and I can never figure out what I did the same to make it that way??
Am I using too much liquid?
Or not cooking it lower for longer??
(Sometimes the liquid is halfway up the roast and sometimes I cook it an “auto” for 6 hours.)
Thank you so much for offering to help me!!! : )
I like to use the crock pot on low and cook for as long as I can. I find that the meat gets a lot juicier and moist on a long slow cook.
Every time I try to cut time and cook it on high it is not juicy or moist like I want it to be.
looooooove bbq anything in the crock pot. I want this NOW!
Looks absolutely delicious! I love BBQ sandwiches almost as much as I love my crockpot!
This looks great! I have family coming into town this week! This recipe will be perfect! THANKS!
I love BBQ cooked in the slow cooker. This recipe sounds delicious! I’m sure it is since it’s one of yours. Your recipes have never let me down. 🙂
Yum! I bet the flavors are amazing together! Your pictures make it feel like I could almost reach out and eat it!
If my husband saw this he would divorce me and ask you to marry him! lol – I’m glad you showed the meat to use so that I can find it when I’m in the grocery store. It helps A LOT!
This sounds yum! I love Bourbon Chicken, but have never had Bourbon Beef. Considering we live in the bourbon state, there’s not much excuse not to try this recipe soon! Especially since we love roast 🙂
These look SOOO delicious!! Can’t wait to give them a try. Pinned it!
Oh my – that looks divine. I would have a hard time sharing
Oh wow – this is one mouthwatering sandwich!
I cannot comment from personal experience (I am vegetarian) but my husband and daughter-in-law said this is delicious! I added a bit more bourbon and used Guy Fierri (sp?) bourbon bbq sauce, otherwise it was the very same recipe 🙂 Thank you! I also toasted our buns with butter and garlic.
Hi! This looks awesome and I want to use it for my next party. I was wondering how many people it will feed? Thanks!
