Slow Cooker Shredded Beef is perfect to add to so many delicious dishes and recipes. Make this simple beef recipe to keep on hand for so many easy dinner recipes.
Making Slow Cooker Shredded Beef to have on hand for recipes throughout the week has to be one of my favorite things ever. Well, that and making slow cooker chicken for the same purpose. But, having shredded beef stocked in the refrigerator just makes life easier.
And thankfully, it doesn’t take much thought, time, or energy on my part.
Some days, I have none to spare!
Do you ever feel like that?
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love cooking. It is like free therapy for me. No need to pay to go sprawl out on someone’s sofa to tell them about my day when I can just head to my kitchen and get reenergized while baking a cake or making pie crust, making homemade bread, or even something as simple as making breakfast or supper for my family.
But some days, especially when our homeschooling day seems to linger from sun-up to sun-down, we’re running from one activity or appointment to another, and I haven’t even attempted to think about what to make for supper, having made shredded beef in the slow cooker is like the most brilliant thing I’ve ever done. It makes me feel like a genius or something.
And it sort of tastes like that, too.
So, pull that slow cooker out of the cabinet and get ready to make some delicious shredded beef. I’ve got some absolute delicious dishes that you’ll definitely want to have this beef ready and waiting to go into like shredded beef nachos, brunswick stew, enchilada casserole.
Here’s my Slow Cooker Shredded Beef recipe. You’ll love it. Promise.

I love to do this, as well!!! I started doing this by mistakenly making a roast (with potatoes, onion, and carrots) that was WAY to0 big for my family, lol. I had a TON of meat left, so I made stroganoff with it the next day – and it was a HUGE hit (and those leftovers are even better)! It was the easiest 2-for-one dinner meat ever!!! I use beef broth, garlic salt, beefy onion soup, and I also add one brown gravy packet to mine (it helps give it a stronger flavor and thickens the broth a bit -add 2 packets for those who really want a truer gravy thickness). I have found that the bottom round is what shreds the best – top round didn’t work well for me at all – even with the 8 slow hours.

>>>>> The trick, however, that I wanted to share, that made the shredding A HUGE timesaver…MIXER/BEATER!!!!!
It works wonders! Saw someone do it with pulled chicken and decided to give the roast a shot, and it worked – pulled 5 lbs of beef in under 5 min!!!!
I’m glad you shared this, Misty! I love finding other helpful uses for my kitchen tools! Thanks so much! xo
I added, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, pot roast sauce, sweet and spicy barbecue to it and cooked it for 7 hours and it was great!!! Husband said it was better than his great grandma roast beef ?
That is a pretty great compliment I’d say! Thanks so much for letting me know how much you enjoyed it Trudy! xo
I love your story …This makes great tacos and quesadillas too !!!
About twice a tear all the kids and there families descend upon us. I make this ahead of time and freeze the meat I also freeze the “Gravy in a separate container placed in the pan I freeze in. Since it takes 2 or three of these roasts to feed everyone) Always a huge favorite of the Grand kids who love building their own sliders with pickles onion sand other items.
Amazing recipe! And leftovers can be used so many way!
I used the leftover to make a kale/carrot stir fry! So yummy! Just chop carrots and start with a bit of olive oil. Add leftovers pulled beef after a couple of minutes and when it all gets hot, add kale and put a lid on. 2-4 min later stir kale into the rest of things and turn the heat off. Attaching an image 🙂
I have done this a few times now for BBQ shredded beef sandwiches for pot luck dinners at church. I cook beef roast in slow cooker on high for 8 hrs. ( It is a large elk roast). I season with salt and pepper, and add a glass of water to crock pot.
When roast is done, I take it out and place on a cookie sheet, and using two forks I shreed the roast. Pour the water out of crock pot into a bowl. Place shredded beef back into crock pot, and add a bottle of BBQ sauce. Add water ( juice) to crock pot, just enough to hydrate your BBQ beef. Turn slow cooker on low for about an hour, then serve on hamburger buns. Everyone loves! Add your own different seasoning, as well as your favorite BBQ sauce. The best part is making this your own unique recipe?.
Leo must be hungry. ?
Great recipe and I LOVED the story 😉
Good recipe, maybe less of a story when all I need is the directions though
If you don’t like it go to another recipe site, there’s only about 100,000 out there.
Well Leo…maybe you didn’t realize this is a recipe BLOG, not just recipes. I think you need to buy a cookbook so you don’t have read a STORY!
Are you saying I can use a chuck roast at $9.99 where I live or top raost? Are you referring to top round roast? Top round is not a tender cut of meat.
doesn’t matter 8-10 hrs in slow cooker it will be buy as cheap as cut as you want I do
I used to be able to buy Montreal seasoning, but no more in Uk I really loved it the taste of it, any suggestions where I can get it ?
You can make it yourself:
1/4 cup kosher salt
1 tablespoon pepper
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon onion flakes
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
