Servings: 6

3 pounds beef chuck roast
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Place the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker.

2. In a bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

3. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef, making sure it's well coated.

4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

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

6. Serve the BBQ beef hot, with your choice of sides.

For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of chili powder or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture. If you prefer a smokier flavor, try adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika. For a tangier taste, increase the apple cider vinegar by a tablespoon. This dish is also great served on sandwich buns for a delicious BBQ beef sandwich. If you have picky eaters, you can serve the sauce on the side so everyone can add as much or as little as they like.
