BBQ Beef

This is a recipe I found that was one my mom had wrote down for me at one time and I never made. It sounds yummy and I am going to give it a whirl at the Super Bowl Party this Sunday.

Ingredients:

3-1/2 pounds beef chuck roast
1 C water
1 T and 1-1/2 t white vinegar
2 T brown sugar
1 T mustard
2 T Worcestershire sauce
1-1/2 C ketchup
1 t salt
1/4 t ground black pepper
1/8 t cayenne pepper
1/4 t crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 cloves garlic (minced)

Directions:

Place the roast into a slow cooker along with the water. Cover, and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until beef can be easily be pulled apart with a fork.

Pull the beef apart, remove all the fat as you go. Reserve 1/2 cup of the broth from the slow cooker for later use.

In a bowl, mix the vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, cayenne, crushed red pepper, and garlic. Stir into the shredded beef so that making sure that all the meat is well coated.

Cover and continue to cook beef on Low for an additional 4 to 6 hours. If beef gets either too thick or dry you may add some of the reserved broth.
