Cook Like A Dad How-To:

1. Take Beef and remove from package and sprinkle seasoning (pepper and Montreal) on both sides of beef. Make sure to rub the seasoning into the meat because you want the seasoning to slow cook into the texture of the beef. Once both sides are seasoned, set the meat aside and finely chop half an onion.

2. You can use any type of onion for this recipe. I used a yellow onion because it was the most affordable at the grocery store that day. The half of onion should leave you with about 1 cup to be used for the slow cooker. As you will see in the video, I have my daughter Mia-Isabella helping me with chopping the onion. A ‘Cook Like a Dad’ rule of thumb is to always keep the blade of the knife and the onion wet at all times to avoid the fumes getting to your eyes because there is no crying in baseball, and there is certainly no crying in the kitchen!

3. Set your slow cooker on "low" and line the bottom and sides with the olive oil. Set it up in the morning and leave cooking for at least 6 hours to maximize the flavor.

4. Drop the onions and garlic on the bottom of the slow cooker and make sure to spread them evenly across the bottom. Now empty the can of French onion soup into the bottom. Don’t worry; this is plenty of liquid in the slow cooker to keep your beef moist.

5. Place the beef in the cooker and set your cooking time for at least 6 hours on a LOW setting. Six hours later...

6. Now that you have gone about your business all day, it’s time to come home to that sweet smell of slow cooker success. You will discover that more juice has been created in the pot than when you left it. When you are ready to serve this meal, keep about a cup of the drippings and drain the rest. At this point you can turn off the slow cookerand allow the beef to cool.

7. When you are ready to serve, drain accordingly, and have your favorite BBQ sauce ready. Take any kitchen spatula, large fork or utensil that will help you mash and separate the beef while you pour your BBQ sauce into the slow cooker. Continue to pour contents of the BBQ sauce or to your taste.

8. You can always add King’s Hawaiian rolls (or rolls of your choice) with the BBQ Beef and you have a perfect Hawaiian slider that every kid will enjoy!
