Pulled BBQ Beef

This blog is intended to represent a portion of my family's history through the food we make and serve to our friends and loved-ones. I try to be careful when I post to include recipes that have been in the family and are part of our culture.

At my daughter's college graduation party we were interested in serving some kind of a hot sandwich. Sloppy Joes were out of the question, because, well to be frank, I don't much care for them. One of Kathy's work mates suggested the following recipe for pulled beef sandwiches.  The recipe is going to make a lot of sliders so it is perfect for a big gaggle of guests.  When it got my mother-in-law's approval, I knew it would be a recipe we would be making for future family gatherings.

When Kathy told me that it had hamburger in it, I was reluctant to believe what she was told-that the hamburger will not be noticed.  It turns out to be true, you don't notice the hamburger.

• 6 lb Boneless Chuck Roast
• 1 ½ lb Ground Beef
