Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef chuck roast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup beef broth
• 4 sandwich buns
• 8 slices cheddar cheese
• 1 cup pickles, sliced
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced

How to Make Cheesy Beef Sandwich

1. Start by seasoning the beef chuck roast with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
3. Transfer the seared beef to a slow cooker and pour in the beef broth. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
4. Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the juices.
5. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the sandwich buns on a baking sheet and fill each with a generous portion of the shredded beef.
6. Top each sandwich with two slices of cheddar cheese and place in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Remove from the oven and add sliced pickles and onions on top of the cheesy beef.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, consider marinating the beef overnight in your favorite spices.
• Don’t skip the searing step; it adds a depth of flavor that makes a difference.
• Use fresh ingredients for the pickles and onions to enhance the crunch and taste.
• If you want a spicier kick, add some sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a bit of heat.
• Use pulled pork or chicken instead of beef for a different twist.
• Add sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.
• For a lower-carb option, serve the beef in lettuce wraps instead of buns.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy sweet potato fries for a sweet and savory pairing.
• A side of coleslaw to add a refreshing crunch.
• Pickled vegetables to complement the rich flavors of the sandwich.
• A simple green salad to balance the meal.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover shredded beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the beef in a skillet over medium heat or microwave until warmed through. Assemble sandwiches fresh for the best results.
