Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1.5 cups barbecue sauce
- 6 pieces hamburger buns
- 1 cup crispy fried onions
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a slow cooker, add the beef broth and place the seasoned chuck roast on top.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
Once cooked, remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Discard any excess fat or gristle. Strain the broth and reserve about 1/2 cup for moistening the beef later.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker, and stir in the barbecue sauce and reserved broth. Mix well and keep the slow cooker on the warm setting while preparing the buns.
Toast the hamburger buns by spreading butter on the cut sides and toasting them in a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwiches by piling the shredded barbecue beef onto the toasted buns and topping with crispy fried onions for added crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Snappy Barbecue Beef Sandwiches!
