Crockpots Rule
I made the barbecue shredded beef yesterday, as mentioned, and what appropriate timing. This week’s Carnival of the Recipes is a crockpot edition, featuring mainly but not exclusively recipes for the crockpot.
As for my latest shredded beef, it came out yummy, if not the same as last time, which was not the same as the first time. I had probably 6.5 lbs after trimming, and there was not enough ketchup for that. I also could have stood to go heavier on the vinegar. Still, I could have just feasted on the meat after stage one of cooking in water with vinegar and brown sugar, even before shredding it and adding the rest of the stuff.
We’ll probably freeze or give away about a third of it. Otherwise it might not all get eaten.
