How to Shred Slow Cooker Beef
Did you know that you could shred beef in a stand mixer? The process is very similar to how you shred chicken. All you do is place the meat in your mixer while hot and turn the mixer on. You just need to watch carefully so that it doesn’t over shred your meat. Below is a video where Mikey shows you how we shredded chicken using this same method!

You can put portions of this Sweet Savory Shredded Beef into freezer bags for quick meal prep in the future. All you have to do is bring the beef down to room temperature and then portion it out into freezer bags. Push all air out of the bags before closing and freeze flat for easy storage. When ready to serve, remove from the bag and reheat in the microwave, skillet or slow cooker. Stirring occasionally to break up the beef.
