Beef Au Jus Sandwiches

Slow cook the following ingredients in a crock pot for six hours on low:

1 Chuck roast
1 cup of water
1 packet of dry au jus mix (found at the store near gravy mixes)
Season with onion powder, black pepper, salt

After slow-cooking for six hours, the roast will be very tender.  Either shred it with a fork or use a kitchen scissors to cut it into bits (while still in crock pot).  Strain meat and put it on hard rolls.  Put extra liquid into small dishes for au jus sauce to dip the sandwiches in.  Delicious!

Barbacoa (Pulled Pork)

Cook the following ingredients on low in crock pot for six hours:

1 pork roast (trim fat off first)
1 can of Dr. Pepper or Coke
1/2 bottle of barbecue sauce
Season to taste with onion powder and any other seasoning you like


After it has slow-cooked for six hours it will be very tender.  Then you can either shred the pork with a fork or else cut it into bits with kitchen scissors.  Serve on hard rolls. YUMMY!

French Dip Au Jus

1 beef roast
1 package au jus mix
1 Tbsp. dried onion flakes or 1 pkg. onion soup mix
1 cup of water

Put a roast in the slow cooker with a package of au jus mix, minced onion, and water. Slow cook 4-6 hours (until tender). Using kitchen scissors, snip beef into bits.

Put the meat on your favorite crusty rolls and use the excess liquid for dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Barbecue Pork

This was so easy I can't believe someone had to suggest it to me...I should have thought of this on my own!

Place a couple of pork roasts in the crockpot and add about 3/4 bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce. Add a dash of worchestershire sauce and then pepper to taste. Slow cook it for about 5-6 hours until it is really tender, then use kitchen scissors (stick them right in the crockpot) and snip it to bits.

Put the meat on a crusty roll and voila!!...yummy easy lunch...with enough for leftovers. Gotta love crockpots!
