Instructions

Cranberry Shredded Beef

    1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper
  • Place the roast into the slow cooker and add the cranberry sauce and fresh cranberries.
    2.5 lb beef roast, 14 oz cranberry sauce, ½ cup fresh cranberries
  • Cook on low for 8-10 hours, then shred the beef.

Sliders

  • Preheat the oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Stir the garlic powder into the melted butter and brush on top of the slider rolls.
    2 tablespoon unsalted butter, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Spread spicy brown mustard onto the slider rolls and break each slice of cheese into 4 pieces, adding one piece to each slider sandwich.
    4 slices cheddar cheese, ¼ cup spicy brown mustard, 12 slider rolls
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the slider buns are lightly toasted and the cheese is melted.
  • Add a pile of the shredded beef onto each slider, place the bun on top and serve immediately.

Notes

Leftover shredded beef can be stored in an airtight container and frozen for 1-2 months. 
Another great sauce idea is to mix Sriracha with cranberry sauce to spread over the slider buns.
