Easy BBQ Beef (great for football parties):

-Roast Beef (figure about 1/2 pound per person)
-Can of Beer
-1 small onion, chopped
-Salt, Pepper
and
-BBQ sauce of your choice (1 bottle)
-kaiser rolls

Put your roast into a slow cooker, and pour beer over it. Add any of the spices you care to add, but this is one time that less is more. Cook until it's ready to fall apart (I'd give you a time, but since every slow cooker is different, it's impossible to do).

Leaving the au jus in the slow cooker, take the roast out, and shred, using two forks to pull it apart. (When this is done with pork, this is what's referred to as "pulled pork") Put it all back into the slow cooker, keeping it on low or warm.

To serve, put out the slow cooker with tongs, the BBQ sauce (warmed about 2 minutes in the microwave) in a separate bowl, and the rolls. Make sure your guests know that they can mix the sauce with the beef, or eat the beef au jus.

If you're having a lot of people, and have access to two slow cookers, you can cook & shred both roasts, then add the BBQ sauce to the one but not the other.

Should you have leftovers of the au jus one, you have either a great base for soup or a poor man's stroganoff (drain all but a cup of the liquid (save it and freeze it for soup!), boil noodles and put on plates, then whip 1 small can of drained sliced mushrooms & 1 pint of sour cream into the beef & juice; serve over noodles).
