"Cooking with Alicia & Annie" Crock Pot Barbecue Beef

I made the BBQ Beef because I had a piece of beef in my fridge that I really wanted to use-

I have always loved shredded beef or pork but I thought making it myself would be very time consuming.
Let me tell you- the crock pot takes all the stress out of this recipe.
You literally set it and forget it.

I made a little more work for myself by moving it to a pan on the stove top to dry it up a bit-
I didn't want it saucy.
This was great and I'd make it again...next time I serve it on great big rolls!

*NOTE:I altered these a bit.
I added parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.Once they were mixed I shaped them into cylinders and rolled them in egg then seasoned bread crumbs. I arranged them in a casserole dish that I sprayed with cooking spray. I also sprayed the potato cakes then put them into a 350* degree oven for about an hour. They came a little lighter since they were not fried and the outer crust was still golden.

Delicious!

Gotta love a good potatoe!
