Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by seasoning a generous chuck roast or brisket with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, coating the entire surface. Allow to absorb flavors for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Place the seasoned beef in your slow cooker and add a cup of water or beef broth. Set to low and let cook for 8 to 10 hours until tender.
  3. Once cooking time is over, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.
  4. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker, pour in barbecue sauce, and stir to coat evenly. Let warm on low for 30 minutes.
  5. Assemble your sandwich with soft buns filled generously with saucy shredded beef and extra barbecue sauce if desired.
