Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

  1. Trim any excess fat from the chuck roast and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the beef roast, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. Place the seasoned beef in your slow cooker.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce, water, Worcestershire sauce (if using), and brown sugar (if using) until well combined.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the slow cooker, ensuring it's well coated.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.
  7. Once done, carefully remove the beef to a large cutting board or plate, leaving the sauce in the slow cooker.
  8. Using two forks, shred the beef, removing any remaining fat pieces.
  9. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir to coat with the sauce.
  10. Cover and cook on LOW for an additional 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
