Great sandwiches. Wife ate her's with BBQ sauce and loved it. The rest of us ate our's according to the recipe, absolutely fantastic. I used Mt. Olive sliced dills. I chopped a cup of the pickles real finely and added them to the cooked meat. We will make this meal again!!

I made the pickled beef and my family loved it. I also experimented using a pork loin roast but used bread and butter pickles and it turn out delicious. I used a submerizable blender, and pulvized the pickles in the broth. Then I used some of the broth-pickle mixture in the pulled pork for sandwiches. What I had left over I made Hot Tamales, and they were great. I added some chili powder and cumin to the pork-pickle mixture for the tamales.

I gave it 4 stars because it is simply.. easy.. and expensive, especially if you get the meat and pickles on sale. But I think one of the keys to this recipe must be the brand of pickles you use. Like another user, I used Claussen and found the taste to be super mild. Hardly dill at all, and it didn't even stink up the kitchen. So really what I had was some mildly flavored shredded beef at the end. A dash of tangy BBQ sauce really turned it around though and made it pretty tasty, but I was looking forward to the dill flavor. Next time I will pick a brand that I know has a really stronger flavor and try it that way.

I made this today and it was FANTASTIC! I used sliced dill pickles as it was all I had and they cooked up so nice and soft that they practically melted in your mouth! My husband loved this and can't wait until I make it again!

I'm sorry, Paula, I love you, and love every other one of your recipes, but I couldn't like this one. My family turned their noses up too. I think it needed butter!!!! Maybe we're just a bunch of sour pusses.

Tried the Pulled Pickled Beef.My family loves it. It's a regular at our house now.My grandson is an avid hunter.He usually gets a couple of deer during the season.I have used this recipe with deer meat instead of beef. It's really hard to tell the difference.

I wanted to try this recipe, but was afraid of the comment about the strong smell, so I used Bread and Butter Pickles. My husband loved it. The gravy was great on mashed potatoes too.

I made this for y family and they loved it. Thanks Paula

I have made this twice. We don't eat cole slaw so I mix BBQ sauce with it like another person on here suggested and it was awesome. I like to do this one when we are rolling in from a late evening of activities because it cooks all day and then can be put together quickly.

I like you so much today I purchased your 5 qt. Covered Oval Casserole in Robin's Egg Blue. What a beautiful piece of cookware!! I wish there were recipes enclosed that feature this piece. I did thankfully find some on your website that I am anxious to try. I have never owned a Dutch Oven and am looking forward to the new adventure. From your kitchen to mine!!! Respectfully, Donna Note- Item #51515

it's good, this is something i will do again as it really is easy to prepare (practically no prep) and tasty. great for an all dayer around the house. i prefer to use a little bbq sauce over the beef and as i have never had cole slaw on the sandwich before, it made for a new experience (good one that is). yep i'll be doin' this again.
