Sweet BBQ Beef Sandwiches by Candria

3-4 pounds beef chuck or pork roast
2 cans coke
46 oz. can apricot nectar
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1 tbs. worcestershire sauce
12 oz. can apricot nectar
1 small bottle of your favorite barbeque sauce

Place meat in crock pot and add 1 can of coke, o.j., salt, and w. sauce. Add enough nectar to cover roast. Cook on low 8-10 hours or until cooked through. Drain liquid, shred meat, and remove fat. Place shredded meat back in the crockpot with the bbq sauce. Add nectar and coke to taste. ( I do about half of each.) Heat through or until ready to serve. Serve on toasted buns.
This recipe is also good with a can of enchilada sauce instead of the bbq sauce, nectar & coke, and used for taco salad!
For frozen: Place frozen meat in crockpot and add sauce and liquids. ( You probably don't need the whole bottle of bbq sauce, and I would just put in a little coke and nectar for the amount of meat I gave you, or you don't have to use it at all if you don't want to! ) Heat through. Enjoy!
