Slow Cooker Beef Debris Po Boy

Messy. Like It’s Supposed To Be.

‘Debris’ refers to beef that is cooked and then cut into shreds. In this case, we cut the beef first then cook it until it completely falls apart. The sauce is absolutely incredible. You’ll want to just take a spoonful of it and eat it right out of the slow cooker.

Patience. Tested.

The aroma of the beef cooking in the delicious sauce will drive you crazy all day long. You will find yourself doing like I did, trying to rush the clock forward to dinnertime. Fortunately this recipe for a slow cooker beef debris po boy makes a big batch so you’ll have plenty of it on hand to enjoy again and again.

I love sandwiches topped with tender slow-cooked beef. Try my Italian slow cooker beefspicy ItalianFrench dip and New Orleans roast beef sandwiches too.
