Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3-4 lb beef chuck roast Choose chuck for tender shredding.
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce Or use au jus for a less sweet option.
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 6 sandwich buns Toast buns for texture.
  • 6 slices sharp cheddar cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker and pat it dry so the seasoning sticks.
  2. Whisk the onion soup mix, beef broth, BBQ sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl until smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture over the roast, turning the meat to coat.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef pulls apart with little effort.
  2. Meanwhile, toast the sandwich buns until golden and slightly crisp at the edges.
Serving
  1. Shred the beef with two forks, stir it back into the sauce so it soaks up flavor, then pile onto the buns.
  2. Top each sandwich with a slice of cheddar so it melts into the hot meat.

Notes

Add a pinch of smoked paprika for depth, or stir in a tablespoon of Dijon mustard for a tangy lift. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days, and freeze shredded beef in sauce for up to 3 months.
