Easy Peasy Shredded Beef

I got this recipie from my mother-in-law's neighbor, and it is one of my all time favorites. And, it is also one of the easiest things I have ever made. (Alas, no picture, we ate it too quickly)

Start with a rump roast, anywhere from 2.5-5 pounds. Put it in your crockpot (no need to brown, or salt and pepper or anything else) Mix up one packet of Au Jous gravy mix and pour it over the top, plus an extra cup of water. Let it cook on low for anywhere from 4-6 hours, remove the hunk of meaty goodness, and strain the floaties out of the remaining sauce and return it to the crockpot Add another packet of Au Jous to the sauce (just the dry seasoning, not more water). Shred the beef with two forks, and put it back in the crockpot, let cook on low for another hour, or until it is heated through.

You can serve this as a sandwich, with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob, in burritos or taco's, on top of salads, or anywhere else you like shredded beef. Try it, you won't be disapointed.
