Hello there, Slow Cookerers!!!
Happy Friday to you all --
and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SHELDON!!! My baby boy is 5 today. :-) Where did the time go?????
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay. Let's get down to business.
I did some Spring Cleaning of the freezer drawer this past weekend and came across a frostbitten chuck roast I must have bought at the end of last year in a buy-one-get-one-free sale.
I LOVE these kind of surprises!!
So I thawed it in the fridge somewhat overnight and today I'm going to plop it in the pot with an onion, some canned baked beans, and a bit of barbecue sauce.
We will probably have this super easy dinner over steamed rice, but you can put it in a toasted bun for great bbq sandwiches or even on top of salted rice cakes for an added fun texture.
Any which way you serve this, it's delicious and can be doctored up however you see fit.

The Ingredients
serves 6 ish
3 pound chuck roast (mine was frozen solid)
1 yellow onion, sliced in rings
3 cloves chopped garlic
1 can (16.5 oz) barbecue baked beans
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup prepared barbecue sauce (this wasn't in the picture, because I needed to go get some, and wanted the meat to start cooking
OPTIONAL: 1 tablespoon of jalapeño peppers from a jar
--cheese, optional
--more jalapeno slices, optional
The Directions.
You will need at least a 4 quart crockpot for this meal.
All I did was run the meat under hot water to separate it from the plastic bag.
I plopped it into the crockpot, and turned it on low to begin to warm while I cut the onion and garlic.
After I added them, I poured the contents of the bean can over the meat.
Add about 2 tablespoons of water to the bean can and squish it around with a fork to get the remaining beans and bbq slime.
Add barbecue sauce, and toss in a few jalapeno slices if you'd like some extra heat and twang.
Cover and cook on low for 8 - 12 hours, or until meat shreds easily with a fork.
Serve on rolls, buns, rice cakes, or over rice.
Add slices of your favorite cheese and sliced jalapenos.
The Verdict.
We all really like this meal. Chances are tonight we will have our meat over rice -- but have had it in sandwiches many, many times.
I, personally, love the sliced jalapenos on top---there is a perfect mix of spicy tang and sweetness from the barbecue sauce.
The meat will be quite tender and you'll know it's ready to go when it breaks apart easily with a spoon.
