There is nothing I love more an easy dinner that I can just throw in the slow cooker that everyone will love and these bbq beef subs fit the bill.

I love that I can just throw everything in the slow cooker and have a delicious, flavorful dinner that everyone really enjoys.  Whenever I find a dinner that everyone in my house eats I get excited!  And for it to be in the slow cooker? That’s a double win!

This meat just falls apart it is so tender.  It slow cooks all day to perfection in seasonings and bbq sauce.  Then it gets piled high on soft buns with melty cheese.  These are the best bbq sandwiches!

Can I use a different protein?

Yes, you could use boneless skinless chicken thighs or a pork roast and shred them at the end of cooking and they will be just as delicious!

I love this served with fries or onion rings but it is also great with this Bacon Pimento Cheese Potato Salad.  I also like serving this on baked potatoes or white rice.

You can add red pepper flakes, jalapenoes or sriracha to give this a kick.
