Gather your friends and family for a mouthwatering treat that's sure to delight any crowd: Slow-Cooked Beef Sliders with a smoky twist. This recipe transforms a simple beef chuck roast into irresistibly tender, flavorful sliders that are perfect for any occasion, from game day gatherings to casual dinners. With minimal prep and a slow cooker doing most of the work, you can enjoy the succulent tastes of slow-cooked beef without spending hours in the kitchen. The addition of smoked paprika not only deepens the flavor with a subtle smokiness but also adds a vibrant color that makes these sliders as appealing to the eye as they are to the palate.

As the beef simmers gently in a blend of Italian dressing and your choice of beer, it absorbs an array of flavors that enhance its natural juiciness. The smoked paprika works its magic, infusing the meat with a warm, smoky essence that complements the tangy dressing and the richness of the beer. Once cooked, the beef is easily shredded and paired with melted Colby jack cheese on soft, sweet Hawaiian buns, creating a delicious contrast of textures and tastes. These sliders are not just a meal but an experience, offering a comforting and satisfying bite that invites you to relax and savor each moment.

¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
4 whole garlic cloves

1 cup Italian dressing
1 cup beer (your choice)

Place the beef chuck roast into a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.

Sprinkle the roast with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

Place the garlic cloves on top of the roast and add the sliced red onion.
