"Barbacued beef" for dinner

Actually, that's basically how most of my family makes "barbecue."

CD

I have family in TX that makes "barbecue" by putting a Brisket in a Nesco until it falls apart and mixing it with a few bottles of open pit. Everyone thinks it the greatest thing in the culinary world.

Here in WI, they refer to sloppy joe's as "BBQ".

My parents like to make "hamburg barbecue," AKA sloppy Joes. :tsk:

Throw it on a bun with some cole slaw and I'll eat it. But, it ain't BBQ. It's more like roast beef with BBQ sauce.

Yeah before my bbq'ing days this was a way I made a lot of pulled meat. I never called it bbq because I knew it wasn't, but there are a lot of good restaurants who sear meat then braise it in ovens and it falls apart and make great food. I've done and still do some braised italian beef ribs that are awesome. Slow cooker does throw people for a loop when the term bbq in mixed in, but it isn't far away from a very popular method called braising. Isn't bbq of course, but can be good/great.

There are alot of sauce manufacturers that proudly use liquid smoke in their products. There are also a ton of cooks who lust after those same products.

I for one have no idea why anyone would put liquid smoke in a sauce. ???

But hey, diversity is what makes the world go 'round.

people around here serve it all the time and its usually delicious.

I'm not ashamed to say that I make similar recipe a few times a year. I don't use liquid smoke though. Recipe is handed down from my old man. used to eat as kid a lot.
