Notes

For best results, use a high-quality beef chuck roast. The slow cooking process in the Crock Pot will make the beef incredibly tender and flavorful. Experiment with different spice blends or toppings to find your perfect combination. Leftover shredded beef can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the au jus sauce.
