Description
Slow Cooker Beef & Cheddar Sandwiches are a savory delight, featuring tender, slow-cooked beef that melts in your mouth, paired with rich, creamy cheddar cheese. The combination of flavors and textures creates a satisfying experience, with the warm, gooey cheese perfectly complementing the juicy beef on a soft bun.
Ingredients
- Beef: 3 pounds of chuck roast, trimmed and cut into large chunks
- Seasonings: 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt
- Liquid: 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
- Cheese: 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Buns: 8 soft sandwich rolls
- Optional Toppings: Sliced jalapeños, pickles, or sautéed onions
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Rub the mixture all over the beef chunks.
- Place the seasoned beef in the slow cooker and pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.

Notes
- This dish can be made a day in advance; simply store the cooked beef in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
