  • Total Time: 8 hr 10 min
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Beef and Broth

  • 3 lb beef chuck roast
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Vegetables

  • 1 onion, sliced

Spices

  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Place the sliced onions evenly at the bottom of the crockpot to form a flavorful bed for the beef roast.
  2. Season the Roast: Rub the beef chuck roast all over with the chili powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin, ensuring the spices coat the meat thoroughly for maximum flavor.
  3. Add to Crockpot: Place the seasoned roast on top of the onions in the slow cooker.
  4. Add Liquids: Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce evenly over the roast to keep it moist and enhance the savory taste.
  5. Cook the Beef: Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or on HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
  6. Shred the Meat: Remove the cooked roast from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef back into the crockpot juices to absorb flavor.
  7. Serve or Store: Use immediately in tacos, sliders, rice bowls, or soups; or let cool and freeze in sauce for up to 3 months for easy meal prep.

Notes

  • Use shredded beef in tacos, sliders, rice bowls, and soups for versatile meals.
  • Freezes well in its cooking sauce for up to 3 months without losing flavor or texture.
  • Add your favorite BBQ sauce to the shredded beef for a sweet and tangy variation.
