I love making these Crock pot Shredded Beef Sandwiches and love having leftovers during the week. I also make caramelized onions on the side to put on the beef before I add the cheese. Another idea I will melt some butter and add some garlic powder, stir and brush the garlic butter ontop of sesame seed hamburger rolls and place the sandwiches in a 9x 13 casserole dish and place in the oven to melt the cheese..
