Ingredients

2 pounds boned chuck roast

2 cups vertically sliced onions

1 cup favorite bottled barbecue sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon water

6 2-ounce Kaiser rolls or hamburger buns

Preparation

Trim fat from the beef and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place the beef in an electric slow cooker; stir in onions and barbecue sauce. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8 hours.

Remove the beef and onions with a slotted spoon. Shred them using 2 forks and set aside. Combine the cornstarch and water and add to the barbecue sauce mixture in the slow cooker, stirring well. Cover and cook on high-heat setting for 1 minute. Return the shredded beef and onions to the slow cooker; cover and cook 10 minutes. Serve on rolls.

Note: You can freeze the barbecued beef mixture in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
