Grandma's Secret Trick

Great-tasting beef chuck roast is an economical choice for this dish. Grandma loved the mild flavor of chuck. But Grandpa loved the beefy flavor of round roast, so occasionally, Grandma used a bottom round roast for this barbecue. The leftovers of either round or chuck barbecue are delicious shredded and served on a corn cake.
