Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Buns


In an effort to use my crockpot as often as possible, I stumbled upon this recipe and decided to try it.  We however, did not want to eat these open faced and of course, no mushrooms or tomatoes on it for us. We ate this on toasted loaf bread and it was quite yummy! This one we'll definitely make again!


Ingredients:
Beef flank steak (1 lb.)
1 small onion, sliced
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (I omitted)
1 tomato, chopped (I omitted)
1/2 cup KRAFT Original Barbecue Sauce
2 tsp. Italian seasoning
2 sandwich buns, split


Place steak in slow cooker; top with next 3 ingredients. Pour combined barbecue sauce and seasoning over ingredients in slow cooker. Cover with lid.


Cook on LOW 8 to 10 hours (or on HIGH 5 hours). Remove steak from slow cooker; shred with fork. (Or, cut across the grain into thin strips.) Return meat to slow cooker; stir to coat with sauce.
Top each bun half with meat mixture.


***I made this and froze on my freezer cooking day: Place flank stead, onion, bbq sauce and italian seasoning in a ziplock bag. Squish the bag to combine. Seal and freeze. Thaw overnight in fridge.

  1. Tried to make this but we picked up sandwhich steak meat so it was already cut nice and thin...Oops, didn't think that it would change the cook time so by the time we came home it was a nice burnt crispy mess! We had josie try a piece and she spit it right out onto the floor! We will try again but that night we had Cousins subs instead!
