  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder to season the beef
  • 12 ounces ketchup
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1/2 medium white onion, diced small

Instructions

  1. Season the beef with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add to the slow cooker and cook on high heat for about 3 hours.

      Thanks, Jasmine! Hmmm.... I think the buns were just deli rolls that were sold in bulk. Hope you like this!

    This looks so yummy! My partner loves beef steaks and BBQ sauce so this might be a great choice to mix it up a little bit! Also as you said no mess around the kitchen. I must say I have slow cooker but somehow always forget about it and really should use it. I saved this for later as I really want to try it! Photos look so amazing, made me hungry instantly!

      I have tried jackfruit! I thought I had a recipe for it on my site, but I think I made the recipe for a former employer! So creative, and perfect for a meatless dish! Thanks, Marina!
