Servings: 6

2 pounds of beef chuck roast
1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
1/2 cup of beef broth
1 medium onion, sliced

Place the sliced onion at the bottom of the slow cooker.

Lay the beef chuck roast on top of the onions.

In a small bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce and beef broth, then pour over the beef.

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

Once cooked, shred the beef using two forks and mix it well with the sauce in the slow cooker.

Serve hot with your choice of sides.

For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the BBQ sauce mixture. If you have picky eaters, you can serve the beef on buns as sandwiches, topped with cheese or pickles. For a sweeter flavor, try adding a tablespoon of brown sugar or honey to the sauce. You can also substitute the beef with pork shoulder for a different twist.
