Are Chipotles Spicy?

Chipotles are the perfect peppers for a slow cooker recipe. They are spicy and have a distinct smoky flavor. Because of their thick texture we usually use them for crock pot recipes with beef or chicken.

Ingredients

• Rump Roast
• BBQ Sauce (try our Homemade Barbecue Sauce)
• Chipotle Peppers

• Buns

This recipe is so tasty and only requires a few ingredients.

What kind of cut of meat is used for Chipotle BBQ sandwiches?

We use a rump roast when cooking the Chipotle BBQ but you can also use a chuck roast or a brisket. I prefer the rump roast as it cooks perfectly in the slow cooker. I like that it is so tender and you can shred with a fork.

Can you make Chipotle BBQ Beef in advance?

Yes, you can prepare this ahead of time and freeze it or place in the refrigerator. This is a great way to save time if you plan to make this for a party. Just cook as normal and store in the fridge.

Make sure to use an airtight container and it will last up to 3 days

Chipotle BBQ Beef Sandwich Tips:

• Barbecue Sauce – We recommend making homemade BBQ sauce. You can control the ingredients and just taste better.
• Shred Beef – This beef is so tender that you can easily shred with forks. But we recommend using a hand held mixer or a stand up mixer to easily shred the beef.
• Ingredients – If you prefer, you can reduce the amount of BBQ Sauce to ½ cup, Adobo Sauce and Chipotle peppers if it is to spicy.
• Seasoning – Add seasoning such as liquid smoke, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce for added flavor.
• Shredded Beef – After shredding the beef, make sure to mix back in with the BBQ sauce. I like to let it rest in the slow cooker for about 30 minutes to really lock in flavor

How to Store Crock Pot BBQ Beef Sandwich:

Storing the slow cooked BBQ Beef Sandwich is very simple to do. We recommend keeping the beef and the buns separate. Store the beef in an air tight container for up to 3 to 4 days.

We think the beef taste even better the next days as the beef has time to really marinade in the sauce.

How to Freeze BBQ Beef:

You can freeze the barbecued beef up to 3 months using a freezer bag or container. If you do not have much space in your freezer, use bags.

They lay flat and can stack for extra room. The leftovers freeze really well and make a super easy meal for another night. You might just want to make extra to have to freeze.

When ready to serve, thaw in the fridge. Then reheat on the stove or in the microwave. It will still taste amazing.
