This Slow Cooker BBQ Beef recipe features a tender chuck roast seasoned with a flavorful blend of spices and slow-cooked in BBQ sauce until perfectly shreddable.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef roast (chuck roast recommended, up to 3 lbs works without changes)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 2 cups BBQ sauce (divided)
  • Buns (for serving)
  • Sliced cheddar cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine onion powder, garlic salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and Cajun seasoning until evenly mixed.
  2. Rub the seasoning mixture thoroughly all over the beef roast, ensuring both sides are well covered for maximum flavor penetration.
  3. Transfer the seasoned roast to the slow cooker, laying it flat to cook evenly.
  4. Pour 1 cup of BBQ sauce over the top of the roast to infuse moisture and flavor during cooking.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the roast becomes tender and shreds easily with a fork.
  6. Once cooked, use two forks to shred the beef directly inside the slow cooker to retain the juices and flavors.
  7. Add the remaining 1 cup of BBQ sauce to the shredded beef and stir thoroughly to combine for a saucy consistency.
  8. Scoop the warm BBQ beef onto buns and top with sliced cheddar cheese if desired for a classic, hearty sandwich.

Notes

  • Perfect for easy weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.
  • Adjust the seasoning to taste if desired.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
