I know that there are many creative cooks here on Hellobee, and I'm hoping to tap into some of your knowledge!
I made a beef roast last night in the slow cooker, and it actually turned out a little on the dry side. We have about 1/2 of it left now just sitting in the fridge. What can I use the leftover beef roast for? The way I cooked it last night was just in a little beef broth, and some seasonings (garlic, onion, seasoning salt)
How would you use the left over beef?

I would make beef on a bun, heat it up with a little BBQ sauce and layer it on a bun with coleslaw on the side.
Or beef dip, make an au jus and get some yummy sandwich rolls. I like my beef dip with sauteed mushrooms and onions along with the thinly sliced beef.

I would warm it up with some bbq sauce and make yummy, messy bbq roast sandwiches. On a hoagie roll or somethin! You could also add in some onions (cooked). Yum!
You could also make a taco type soup but with the roast instead odd ground beef. Just shred it up and mix it with tomato sauce, black beans, corn, chilies, and some taco seasoning. Top with avocado and cheese and chips.

Maybe shred it and make a hearty beef pasta sauce? All the juice from the sauce should make it seem less dry.

Open faced beef sandwiches
Heat it up in a saucepan, add some potatoes and gravy and it could be like a skillet.
BBQ Beef sandwich.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: Or instead of taco soup... add the beef on top of tortilla chips. add cheese and broil then add your toppings to make nachos.

You know, this might sound stupid, but I don't know why I haven't thought to make BBQ Beef sandwiches! I always just think of BBQ pork! hmmm I think BBQ beef is sounding pretty good!

@MrsBrewer: I do it with chicken all the time but I didn't think of beef until Rainbow Sprinkles mentioned taco soup. Yum! :))

I would add BBQ to rid of the dryness, throw it on a bun, yum!

I always turn leftover roast into soup. Meat, veggies, slow cooker, spices, some sort of grain or potato, and some water or broth. I have chicken soup in simmering upstairs in the slow cooker as we speak from a roast chicken last night

I love the BBQ idea; if you wanted tacos you could fill warm corn tortillas with the beef, tomatillo salsa, onion and avocado.

@MrsBrewer: it was SUPER good. Except instead of using all beef stock, i subbed a can of Campbell's French Onion soup too.

Adding a vote for tacos or quesadilla. Anything that adds some fat and sauce should improve the dryness.
