Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Peel the onion and slice it into thin rings. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In the slow cooker, layer the onion rings on the bottom, followed by the minced garlic.
Place the seasoned beef chuck roast on top of the onion and garlic.
Pour the barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar over the meat, ensuring the beef is mostly covered.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easy to shred with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and place it onto a large cutting board. Use two forks to shred the beef into bite-sized pieces.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker, stirring to combine it with the sauce and onions.
Toast the light hamburger buns lightly on a skillet or grill if desired.
Assemble the sandwiches by piling the shredded BBQ beef onto the bottom half of each bun. Optionally, top with coleslaw for added crunch and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy!
