Ingredients
  

  • 1 3 pound boneless chuck roast
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups high-quality barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar optional, for extra sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce optional, for depth of flavor

Method
 

  1. Trim any excess fat from the chuck roast, but leave some for flavor.
  2. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chuck roast, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  4. Place the seasoned roast in your slow cooker.
  5. Mix barbecue sauce, brown sugar (if using), and Worcestershire sauce (if using) in a bowl.
  6. Pour the sauce mixture over the roast, making sure it's well covered.
  7. Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the meat is fork-tender and easily shreds.
  8. Once done, remove the roast to a cutting board and shred with two forks, removing any remaining fat.
  9. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker and stir to coat with sauce. Allow it to warm through for 10-15 minutes before serving.
