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.

What type of meals do you use this shredded beef for? It looks delicious!
I love this shredded beef to make my Shredded Beef Nachos, Brunswick Stew, and my Enchilada Casserole, to name a few.
could you use a sirloin tip roast?????
You could use sirloin tip roast, Martin. It would need to cook at least 8 hours on low.
Hi, new here … the recipe sounds great and I’d love to try it, but I have a question first — is “1 3-4 pound” one piece of beef weighing three to four pounds, or a piece of beef weighing one-and-three-quarter pounds? Going by the amount of liquid to be added, I’m inclined towards the latter, but … help, please?
The recipe is for one roast that weighs 3-4 pounds. Hope you enjoy!
