Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce
- 1 Medium onion
- 8 Hamburger buns
- 2 cups Optional: coleslaw (for topping)
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Place the beef chuck roast in a slow cooker.
Slice the medium onion thinly and add it to the slow cooker around and on top of the beef.
Pour the beef broth into the slow cooker, ensuring the bottom is covered, to keep the beef moist as it cooks.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and easy to shred.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and place it on a large cutting board. Shred the beef using two forks, discarding any excess fat.
Discard most of the cooking liquid, leaving about 1/2 cup in the slow cooker for flavor.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir in the barbecue sauce. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated in sauce. Cook for an additional 30 minutes on low to allow flavors to meld.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if desired.
Spoon the barbecued beef onto the bottom half of each bun. Optionally, top with coleslaw for added crunch and flavor.
Place the top half of the bun over the beef and serve immediately. Enjoy!
