Slow Cooker Apple BBQ Beef

Slow Cooker Apple BBQ Beef. This slow cooker meal is warm and simple. It feels like a home-cooked dinner that fills the house with good smells. The apple pie filling may seem odd, but it melts into the sauce and adds a soft, sweet taste that goes well with barbecue flavor.

A cozy slow-cooker beef recipe that mixes apple pie filling and barbecue sauce for sweet, tangy comfort. Toss in an onion soup mix and apple cider vinegar, then let a frozen chuck roast cook until falling-apart tender. Serve on mashed potatoes, noodles, or buns for an easy family meal everyone will love.

Ingredients

• 1 frozen beef roast (chuck), about 3 to 4 pounds

• 1 can apple pie filling (20–21 ounces)

• 1 cup barbecue sauce

• 1 packet onion soup mix (about 1 ounce)

• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Slow Cooker Apple BBQ Beef: Directions

1. Put the frozen beef chuck roast in the slow cooker.

2. Spoon the apple pie filling over the roast.

3. Add the barbecue sauce, sprinkle the onion soup mix on top, and pour the apple cider vinegar over everything.

4. Cover the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8–10 hours or on high for 5–6 hours, until the beef is very soft and can be pulled apart easily.

5. Shred the beef with two forks while it is still in the slow cooker. Stir so the meat is covered in sauce.

6. Let the beef sit for 10 minutes so the flavors settle.

7. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, rice, or on buns with extra sauce if you like.
