Any who back to the subject at hand.. BBQ pulled beef. So our fantastic family cooked a beef roast and then pulled the meat with a few forks, thus giving us pulled beef.. (awesome, I know!!) SO I am yet again attempting another BBQ sauce.. Went looking online like I do for a recipe, came across a few by they called for liquid smoke..liquid smoke?!?! Who has liquid smoke on hand?? Not this girl! I finally stumbled upon a recipe that didn't call for it, go figure it says its the Applebee's BBQ sauce! Of course I made my own adjustments, and well... Created a whole new recipe!
I took 1/3 cup ketchup, 1/3 cup white vinegar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of horseradish, 2 teaspoons yellow mustard, 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisked this all together in a crock pot. I let that start heating up then added the pulled beef (once it came to room temp). With a fork stirring the beef into the sauce. Letting it cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
The mixture in the crock pot... OhMyGosh the amazing smell coming from my crock pot!! I let the mixture warm up in the pot before adding in the beef.
I let this beautiful marriage of ingredients and meat cook at low for 2 hours (maybe a little more)... Ohhh the smell that is produced!!! Yummy!!
And look at that plate!! This was a party in my mouth! I did get ambitious and tried to make my own potato chips. I will say this was a partial fail for me! Read the blog on it, you may enjoy it yourself!

So as you can see I really changed some things around.. hahaha!! Now before I close out here and step down to cook/ bake some more I would like to pass on a cause to my readers. I told you earlier I would test you on my story line (haha.. story line) about my sister and brother-in-law. Well truth is these two amazing people have started or are trying to start a foundation to help victims of sexual molestation crimes and sexual abuse crimes. They are currently taking donations to become a non-profit organization. Women and man face such horrible crimes in one way or another EVERYday.. to have someone out there to provide them support and the road to recovery is something special and amazing! Please visit their site and help out where you can whether it is a donation of ANY size or simply passing the word along, you will be helping! Thanks to all and please keep baking!!!
