Slow Cooker Barbecue Beef Sandwiches

I made a big slow cooker full of barbecue beef, spooned it onto buns, topped it with as many onion rings as I could fit, and a bit of extra sharp cheddar cheese, and I was happy.

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
½ teaspoon Kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Place the roast into your slow cooker.
In a bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Pour the mixture over the beef.
Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours or until the beef is tender.
Carefully remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred with a fork.

Notes

The onion rings are optional but I think they add a nice crunch.
