This seasonal product from Trader Joes makes the best ever beef roast and shredded beef – look for it in the late spring, early summer months and stock up!
If this isn’t a cult favorite yet at Trader Joe’s, I’m going to help it become one.
This Gold BBQ from the specialty grocer is a seasonal product available just ahead of the summer months. The minute I see it in stores, I start buying extra for my pantry…so that I can have it all year long.
Side note: the “related” Gold BBQ Potato Chips (also seasonal) are a fave of my boys.
This gold BBQ is great for dipping grilled chicken and grilled pork chops.
But it is ABSOLUTE PERFECTION on a slow cooked beef roast.
PERFECTION.
A basic BBQ sauce on a slow cooked beef roast is also a hit.
But there is something about the additional mustard and tang from the GOLD BBQ sauce that just levels it up to absolute perfection.
I stock up my pantry with jars of the Gold BBQ and I also stock up my freezer with beef roasts + the gold BBQ sauce. Then I can just grab the beef roast and sauce from the freezer, transfer it frozen into the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-1o hours.
It’s Absolute Dinner Perfection!
Sorry, I just don’t know how else to describe this, other than…I think you get it…
The recipe is so simple. And end result is…well, you know!
Now, be on the look out for this sauce at your Trader Joe’s store. (You might be able to find it on Amazon, but it will be pricey!)
