Homemade Slow Cooker Barbecue Beef Sandwiches are an amazing and easy meal. A wonderful meal to come to!
Do you love an easy sandwich recipe? Then you must try this barbecue beef sandwiches in the crockpot! These go great with Slow Cooker Corn on the Cob if you have two slow cookers.
When it gets close to warmer weather around here and I start thinking of recipes to make for summer dinners and lunches. I rarely turn on my oven from June to August here in Oregon.
Our house is older, we have air conditioning in only 2 rooms, so turning on the oven is a death wish. These Slow Cooker Barbecue Beef Sandwiches are great with an easy side dish such as watermelon or chips.
Why cook this meal in the slow cooker and not just in the skillet? The sauce will slow cook and make a more melded flavored sauce and the onions will tenderize. It’s also my new favorite meal for Monday nights after girl scouts, which doesn’t get out until 7pm!

Debbie from Florida says
Got the buns ready…we’re drooling, while waiting for this to get done cooking. Serving it with mom’s homemade southern potato salad. Thanks, Sarah, for the recipe!
Debbie from Florida says
Update: Sarah, we loved every bite! Thank you, again!
Sarah Olson says
Awesome Debbie! I’m jealous of the homemade potato salad. Sounds like a perfect meal.
Linda says
Good idea I was going to serve with chips but potato salad sounds better
Carl Voelcker says
This looks like a decent sloppy joes recipe, but this is not barbecue beef IMHO.
Sarah Olson says
That’s fine, you can call them whatever you want!
