Ingredients
Beef & Seasoning
- 3 lbs Chuck Roast
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- ½ tsp Freshly cracked Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- ½ tsp Smoked Paprika
- 18 oz BBQ Sauce
Buns & Toppings
- 12 pieces Kaiser Rolls (or Brioche Buns)
- 12 slices Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Method
Preparation
- Mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and smoked paprika in a bowl.
- Rub the spice mix thoroughly all over the chuck roast. For deeper flavor, season the roast the night before and refrigerate it uncovered.
Cooking
- Place the seasoned roast into the crockpot. No added liquid is needed.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Do not lift the lid during cooking.
- Once cooked, remove the beef to a board, or shred it in the pot using two forks. Pull in opposite directions to create rough, uneven strands.
- Drain any excess fat from the pot.
- Return the shredded beef to the pot and stir in the BBQ sauce. Optionally, add 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp molasses, or a splash of apple cider vinegar for added flavor.
- Heat on low for 15 minutes.
Serving
- Toast the buns and pile on the saucy beef. Top with melted cheddar, coleslaw, and pickles. Serve hot.
