Ingredients
BBQ Beef
2½–3 pounds chuck roast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 (18-ounce) bottle barbecue sauce
For Serving
Coleslaw
6 sandwich buns
Instructions
Place the chuck roast in the slow cooker.
Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and smoked paprika.
Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.
Carefully remove excess fat and liquid from the slow cooker.
Using two forks, shred the beef directly in the slow cooker.
Pour the barbecue sauce over the shredded beef.
Stir until the meat is thoroughly coated.
Continue heating on Low for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Spoon the BBQ beef onto the bottom half of each sandwich bun.
Top with coleslaw.
Add the top bun and serve warm.
Notes
Chuck roast is ideal for slow cooking because it becomes tender and juicy after long cooking times.
Use your favorite barbecue sauce to customize the flavor profile.
For extra smoky flavor, add an additional ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika.
Toast the buns before serving for added texture.
Leftover BBQ beef can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
The shredded beef also freezes well for up to 3 months.
