Ingredients
  

  • 1 3 pound boneless chuck roast
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bottle 18 oz high-quality barbecue sauce
  • ¼ cup water if needed
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce optional
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar optional

Method
 

  1. Trim excess fat from the chuck roast (leave some fat for flavor and moisture).
  2. Place the roast in the bottom of your slow cooker/crock pot.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over all sides of the roast.
  4. Pour the barbecue sauce over the seasoned roast. If using, add the Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar.
  5. If your barbecue sauce is particularly thick, add ¼ cup water around (not on top of) the roast.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours. The beef is ready when it easily shreds with a fork.
  7. Once done, remove the roast to a large plate or cutting board and shred using two forks, removing any remaining fat.
  8. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir well to coat with the sauce. Let it cook for another 15-20 minutes on LOW to absorb the flavors.
