On a Beef Roll......BBQ Beef on a Bun

Well it would seem we are beef eaters in our house as this is what we wanted to try next. In all honesty, we did try a chicken fajita dinner (I didn't), but no pictures were taken and my family did not save any for me to try. Oh, well, guess I will just have to make that one again. I heard it was good. :)

On to the beef! Last night I grabbed the bag labeled Pulled BBQ Beef out of the freezer to thaw for the morning. Popped the contents in the slow cooker in the morning and let it cook the day away while I busied myself of other things. 

The beef was very tender when done and easy to shred. The aroma was delicious! I believe that this might be one of my favourite parts of slow cooking is the aroma you get to come home too. 

I must say this recipe was a hit with the family. I think if you serve meat of any sort on a crusty bun you are going to get automatic points with the kids and hubby. My tastes are a bit more refined, but I did like this. Now I forgot to toast the buns, but it was still good. I would have liked it more on a toasted bun as I am not a big bread eater. 

So.... the family ratings! Dear son, gave it five stars. What can I say, I knew it would be a hit with him as there was nary a vegetable in sight! A big win for the dear boy!

My beautiful daughter also gave it 5 wonderful stars. She found it filling and delicious. I must say I was a little surprised, as she is the veggie lover, however it was a tasty quick meal.

Hubby also gave it 5 stars. Why not? It's beef and its a bun. Two favourite things. It's the kind of food that can be eaten lounged on the couch watching your favourite sporting event on the TV with a beer. I love my hubby!

Me, well I thought it was yummy, but 5 star worthy, probably not. I would give it 4 stars for sure. It was seasoned nicely, very tender and was a nice simple dinner. Next time I would make a salad with it, or add some tomato slices to the bunwich. 

I am glad it was such a big hit with the family though. We have a few more similar recipe types to try. I am looking forward to trying the others to compare.
