A delightful twist on classic barbecue sandwiches, these savory slow-cooked beef sandwiches are packed with flavor and perfect for any occasion.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well blended for a consistent flavor.
Place the beef chuck roast into the slow cooker.
Trim any excess fat from the roast for a leaner dish.
Pour the prepared sauce over the beef in the slow cooker.
Ensure the beef is fully coated with the sauce for even cooking.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, until the beef is tender.
Check the beef occasionally to ensure it remains submerged in the sauce.
Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Shred the beef finely to allow it to absorb more sauce.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir to coat with the sauce.
Let the beef sit in the sauce for a few minutes to enhance the flavor.
Serve the beef on toasted buns and enjoy.
Add your favorite toppings like pickles or coleslaw for extra flavor.
