Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast, then place it in a slow cooker.
In a small bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the sauce.
Pour the sauce evenly over the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Shred the beef using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it with the juices for extra flavor. Let it sit on the WARM setting for 20-30 minutes to soak up the juices.
Toast the sandwich buns if desired. Spoon a generous portion of the shredded BBQ beef onto the bottom half of each bun.
Top the beef with pickles or coleslaw if desired, and place the top bun over the filling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Overnight BBQ Beef Sandwiches!
