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.
