I just love it when I can put something in the slow cooker at night, then get up the next morning and not worry about dinner the following day!  I especially LOVE doing this on Saturday nights, when I know I’ll have church in the morning.  This is what I did with this recipe, last week.  It cooked all night long, and when I got up in the morning, I turned it to keep warm.  It stayed warm the whole morning while we were at church and then when I came home from church, I shredded it up and got it ready to serve.  Except, my poor family, has a blogger for a mother, so I made them wait to eat until I got some pictures.  LOL.

This particular recipe calls for a bottle of beer, or a bottle of Apple Ale. Since my husband prefers to drink Apple Ale, over the beer, that’s what I used, since we had it on hand.  If you don’t ever have alcohol in your house, you can switch that to Ginger Ale or even beef broth.  It’ll still be mighty tasty!

I shredded the meat with my bear claws.  I also used two packs of Hawaiian Slider buns, so we had 24 sandwiches in all.  We definitely had leftovers!  The amount of leftovers you have, will depend on how much fat was in your roast and what size of roast you bought.

We ended up taking some of the sandwiches over to my in-laws house, as they’ve been having some trouble getting dinner cooked lately, due to some health issues.  They raved and raved over the sliders.  Of course, everyone in our family did, too.  It’ll definitely be one of those recipes that we make again and again!

Be sure to see the video, exactly how I did it.  Share this video on Facebook, to help me get the word about my slow cooker recipes to your friends!

This Beef Slider recipe is the bomb!  The meat cooks slowly for 10 hours, marinating in the juices, making the best taste ever!  Shred it and serve it on soft, Hawaiian Slider buns and you’ll be loving dinner!  We put a little BBQ sauce on ours, but it would also be good with Steak Sauce.  YUM!
