- 1 cup grape juice
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cheddar cheese sauce
- 4 onion rolls
Instructions
- Season the chuck roast with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, then set aside.
- Place sliced onion in the slow cooker, pour in beef broth and grape juice, and add the seasoned roast; cover and cook on low for 8 hours until fork‑tender.
- Remove the roast, shred it with two forks, and return the shredded beef to the cooker, stirring to coat with the juices.
