Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the onion and mince the garlic to ensure everything is ready for your slow cooker meal.
  • Put the beef chuck roast at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  • Scatter the chopped onion and minced garlic over the beef.
  • Slowly pour in the beef broth, barbecue sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the mixture.
  • Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for about 8 hours.
  • After the cooking time has elapsed, check the beef; it should be fork-tender.
  • Using two forks, shred the beef directly in the slow cooker and mix it well with the juices.
  • While the beef is cooling slightly, slice your hamburger buns in half.
  • Load the shredded beef onto each bun and enjoy.

Notes

For a healthier option, consider using a leaner cut of beef. For gluten-free versions, use gluten-free buns.
