Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground mustard
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne
  • ¼ teaspoon liquid smoke
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 bay leaf

Serving

  • hamburger buns or rolls

Instructions

  • Heat all ingredients in crock pot on low for six hours, or until beef is falling apart. Taste liquid for salt and add more as needed.
  • Remove bay leaf, and shred beef.
  • Serve on sandwich rolls or crusty bread.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat as needed.

Notes

If you wish to add cheese, Muenster cheese is a great pairing.
This can be done on high heat as well. Expect it to take one or two hours less to become tender.
This can be made in a Dutch Oven if desired as well. You may need to add more beef broth, as the liquid may simmer out faster.
