Ingredients

1 boneless beef chuck roast (3 pounds)

1 large onion, thinly sliced

6 oz. can tomato paste

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

1 1/2 Tablespoons Apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon liquid smoke, optional

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons chili powder

2 teaspoons paprika

1/4 teaspoon pepper


12 sandwich buns, split


Optional: mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, and dill pickles

Directions

Cut roast in half and place in a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker. In a medium bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Pour over beef. Add the onions and give everything a toss.

Cover and cook on high for 1 hour, then low for 7-9 hours or until meat is tender, turning half way.

Drain the meat and onions in a strainer over a bowl. Let cool a bit, just until you can handle it.

Shred beef and return it and the onions to the slow cooker. Mix just enough liquid back in to cover and moisten the meat.

Set crock pot to warm.

Place beef on each bun. Serve with BBQ sauce, mayonnaise and pickles if desired.
