Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3–4 lb beef chuck roast Use a fatty chuck for richer flavor.
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce Or au jus for a less sweet option.
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 6 pieces sandwich buns Toast buns for crisp edges.
  • 6 slices sharp cheddar cheese Sharp cheddar melts best.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker and pat it dry.
  2. In a bowl, combine the onion soup mix, beef broth, BBQ sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
  3. Pour the sauce over the roast, turning the meat once to coat it.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until done.
  5. Once cooked, shred the beef with two forks right in the slow cooker, stirring to soak up the sauce.
  6. Toast the sandwich buns until the edges are golden and crisp.
  7. Pile the shredded beef onto the buns and top each with a slice of sharp cheddar.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

For extra flavor, stir in horseradish or smoked paprika. Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge or freeze the shredded beef for up to 3 months.
