    This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Safeway. All opinions are 100% mine.

    I love the fall. The weather gets cooler and our meal planning changes to cozy fall cooking - comfort food! The best comfort food is easy and delicious. We love shredded beef because it's so versatile, and so easy to make. For the past few years, we've been making shredded beef in the slow cooker. But I'm all about INSTANT GRATIFICATION so I've been tweaking my recipe to make shredded beef in a multi-cooker. shredded beef on cutting board

    As usual, Safeway saves the day. The Open Nature® Grass-Fed Angus Chuck roast is just one of four ingredients to make my one-pot shredded beef. This recipe takes about an hour to make because you use your favorite multi-cooker or Instant Pot. I love that because it's such an easy recipe that we can spend more time with family. Beef not your thing? What about a delicious gumbo made from Waterfront BISTRO® seafood!

    As much as we love slow-cooked shredded beef, we don't make it very often because it takes forever! Now with my new multi-cooker version, we're enjoying it in about an hour and I'm enjoying the flavor even more! My husband agrees, because he takes the leftovers to work. What's our favorite thing to make with shredded beef? Cheesesteaks! We put some shredded beef in our favorite non-stick pan and put some Lucerne provolone cheese on top.Then let it get melty and scoop it all onto a Signature SELECT™ Sourdough Hoagie Roll. It's basically the best game day food ever. 😉

      I haven't tried making shredded beef in my instant pot yet, but shredded pork is also delicious.

      So simple, yet so good! Was thinking just standard pot roast looking for a recipe, but cheesesteak was an even better idea! I had to wing it a little as I only had a loaf of French bread, but that worked just fine. Yum!!

      The best part about cooking a roast is how great the house smells when you are cooking it.
