Equipment

Crock-Pot 6-Quart Slow Cooker

Ingredients

1 2.5-3 pound chuck roast
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon steak seasoning
1 10 ounce can beef consommé
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
½ cup barbecue sauce of choice

For the Sandwiches:

1 package onion sandwich buns
Butter
8 slices cheddar cheese or cheese sauce
Barbecue sauce
Horseradish sauce

Instructions

Place the roast in the slow cooker and add the onion powder, garlic powder, steak seasoning, beef consommé, Worcestershire sauce and ½ cup of barbecue sauce.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Remove the roast and reserve about half of the broth.
Shred the roast, removing the fat as you go. Add the shredded beef back to the broth.
Meanwhile turn the oven on to the broil setting. Butter the tops of the onion buns and place them on a baking sheet, buttered side up. Broil until toasted and remove.
Place the bottom buns on the baking sheet. Put a scoop of the shredded beef on each bun, topped a slice of cheddar. Broil until melted.
Put your sandwiches together and serve with extra barbecue sauce and horseradish sauce, if desired.

Notes

Tips to make ahead of time: The shredded beef can be made a day or two ahead of time or even frozen for up to 3 months. Just rewarm the beef before starting to assemble your sandwiches and prepare the sandwiches as directed.

Storage: Store your beef leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Or in the freezer for up to 3 months. It is better to store the beef separately and assemble sandwiches later than to make up and store fully assembled sandwiches as the buns will get soggy in the fridge/freezer.
