Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds Chuck roast
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 medium (sliced) Onion
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 whole Sandwich buns
- optional Optional toppings: coleslaw, pickles, or sliced onions
Instructions
Place the sliced onion at the bottom of a slow cooker.
Season the chuck roast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.
Place the seasoned chuck roast on top of the onions in the slow cooker.
Pour the beef broth over the chuck roast and onions.
Set the slow cooker to LOW and cook for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Remove the chuck roast from the slow cooker and shred the meat using two forks, discarding any excess fat.
Drain most of the liquid from the slow cooker, leaving a small amount to keep the meat juicy.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir in the barbecue sauce. Allow it to heat through for about 15-20 minutes on LOW.
Toast the sandwich buns lightly if desired.
Spoon a generous amount of the barbecued beef mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
Add optional toppings like coleslaw, pickles, or sliced onions, if desired, and top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
