John Madden'S Bbq Beef Sandwiches - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lbs beef roast, cooked,cooled and shredded (I like rump roast because it's not so greasy)
2 onions, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup minced celery
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 cups ketchup
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder

Preparation

In a large saucepan or small soup pot, brown onions in butter until tender.
Add all other ingredients including cooked and shredded beef.
Cover and cook over low heat for at least 2 hours, uncovering for the last 1/2 hour or so; or in a crock pot on low heat for 6 to 8 hours.
(I can't vouch for the crock pot method, but stovetop works just fine!).
Serve on buns or rolls.
