I love this simple dish. It's so easy and tastes great. I usually use a homemade barbecue sauce but a good hickory flavored sauce is good too. I like to freeze this in individual portions to make a quick dinner when I don't want to cook.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, or rump roast are all good options for slow-cooked barbecue beef. These cuts are tough, but the long, slow cooking time will break down the connective tissue and make them tender.
Sear the beef before slow-cooking: Searing the beef in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker will help to develop flavor and color.
Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid you use to cook the beef will add flavor to the sandwiches. Good options include beef broth, chicken broth, beer, or tomato juice.
Add vegetables to the slow cooker: Vegetables such as onions, carrots, and celery will add flavor and nutrition to the beef sandwiches.
Cook the beef on low for 8-10 hours: This will give the beef time to become tender and fall apart.
Shred the beef before serving: Once the beef is cooked, shred it with two forks or a meat shredder.
Serve the beef sandwiches on your favorite bread: Hamburger buns, hoagie rolls, or French bread are all good options.
Top the beef sandwiches with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include barbecue sauce, coleslaw, and pickles.
