Let's talk barbque



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
