Let's talk barbque

I love barbque for many reasons, but the number reason is because I can get in close 40gr of Protein in 1 meal by eating super moist, tender barbque. I was tired of spending 7-10 bucks every time I wanted it, so I decided to make it at home.

I scoured for recipes, and settled on one that was super easy.

1 - 3 pound chuck roast (trim all the fat)

2 cups of favorite barbque sauce

1/4 cup of Worchestershire sauce

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Black pepper

Trim all fat from roast

Rub a generous amount of garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper on exterior of roast.

Poke holes throughout meat with a big knife

Dump it in a crock pot (invest in crock pot liners by Reynolds for effortless clean up)

Mix barbque sauce and worchestershire together, and pour over roast.

Cook on low for 8-10hours.

Remove from crock pot, shred with a fork, dump all liquid from crock pot, put meat back in crock pot covered in your favorite sauce, and cook on low for another hour.

Not technical, not difficult, and you can control how many calories/sugar by choosing a lower sugar count barbque sauce. I don't watch my intake as closely as I was last year so I use Sweet Baby Ray's original sauce.

I actually set mine in the crock pot around 10pm, and remove it around 8am. So, I cook mine for about 12 hours, and it's super moist and tender. It's perfect for me, and I can eat about 6oz.

I've also made this with brisket, and it turned out exceptionally tasty. If you do not have a crock pot, you can get the same results by cooking low and slow in your oven. Wrap the meat(with spice rub only) tightly in heavy duty foil, cook at 350 for 1 hour, drain fat/liquid from foil. Unwrap, add barbque sauce, rewrap in foil loosely, decrease temperature to 225, and cook for 5-7 hours until meat shreds easily.

  • Right now I think I could put BBQ sauce on wood and it would be delicious. I am in liquid stage and the broth and protein drinks are wearing very thin. Guess I just need something with substance..but

Sounds awesome. Will have to give this one a try when I can eat regular foods. I am only 5 days out now so stuck on the liquids.

Seriously sounds awesome!! I will give it a try and see how the fam like it...which i'm sure hubby will be salivating. :thumbup1: Thank you!!

Even easier is to get your favorite cut of any kind of meat, throw it in a crockpot, cover with any kind of broth. Cook until it can pull apart with a fork then add BBQ sauce. You can use shoulders, ribs meat, chicken, pork, rump, anything and it is delish!

Thanks for sharing! It's incredibly close to the recipe I've used for years, only I add a teeny bit of liquid smoke to mine. I grew up eating TX style BBQ, and I'm used to a little smoky flavor.

There are some really simple to make low-carb barbeque recipes online for those that are still trying to get to goal. I use one that calls for tomato paste, diet soda and splenda as well as a variety of spices. It's not Sweet Baby Ray's but it's passable.

Thank you so much for that recipe. I will be making it for my family this week. Yummm!

What's a good BBQ sauce brand?

What's a good BBQ sauce brand?

Here's one that's low carb that I used without the bacon.

  • 2 strips of thick bacon, chopped fine (or see note)
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 small can (6 oz) tomato paste
  • 1 can (12 oz) diet (sugar-free) cola - Splenda-sweetened preferred
  • 1/4 cup low carb (sugar-free) catsup, (or see note)
  • 3 T mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

I prefer Sweet Baby Rays or Kraft thick and spicy brown sugar or the thick and spicy original.

If you have stickyfingers or can order it, it is amazing!

sounds super good thanks :)

Wow, thanks so much for sharing. I have been DYING for some BBQ and don't think I can handle Rudy's yet. I will be making this on Tuesday this week. I'm so excited!!

I wonder if it would work without putting the sause on it? I LOVE brisket and pulled pork with spice rubs and I always order mine without sause (don't like BBQ sause)!

I take a pork tenderloin and put Adobo and Sazon and Garlic Salt on it and let it cook all day in the slow cooker and the shred it and put it on french bread and make grill!!! I love that meat I would totally just eat it by itself too!!!

All I can say is Thank You so much! I may have to run to the store the night before Thanksgiving in the snow of Washington to get meat and BBQ Sauce. Whenever I eat BBQ out I always have left overs and end up eating it over the next day or two. It's then after eating all that meat and Protein I'll lose 2-3 pounds. I love me some BBQ. My favorite thing is to get a slice of toast and put the meat on top and put the BBQ Sauce on top of that! YUM YUM!
