Editor’s Note: Hand-held beef roast sandwiches are a perfect way to get amped up for kickoff. We used Coca-Cola, but feel free to use whichever cola you’d like. Go crazy local and celebrate football season with a Georgia-made barbecue sauce and pickles! Find some from Georgia Grown members at www.georgiagrown.com.

Ingredients:

3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast (or other less tender roast)

1 can cola (12 ounces)

1 envelope onion soup mix

Barbecue sauce

Pickles

24 slider buns, or French bred cut into 24 two-inch pieces

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Place roast in a large baking dish. Sprinkle with the onion soup mix and pour the cola over it.

3. Cover the roast tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. Bake for about two hours or until very tender.

4. Once roast is tender and cooked, shred it with a fork. Combine with enough barbecue sauce to cover all the meat.

5. Assemble sliders. Top each bottom bun or one piece of French bread with a small amount of roast. Top with a pickle and extra sauce, if desired.
