Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Boneless beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 12 ounces Root beer (not diet)
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce
- 8 Hamburger buns
- Optional toppings (coleslaw, pickles, etc.)
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on all sides.
Place the seasoned beef in a slow cooker.
Pour the root beer over the beef, ensuring the beef is partially submerged.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
Once the beef is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and shred it using two forks.
Discard most of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker, leaving about half a cup behind.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and add the barbecue sauce. Stir to coat the beef in the sauce.
Cover and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Toast the hamburger buns if desired, then pile the barbecue beef onto the bottom half of each bun.
Top with optional toppings such as coleslaw or pickles, then place the top bun over the beef.
Serve warm and enjoy your Root Beer Barbecue Beef Sandwich!
