Great recipe. I had about 4 pounds of chuck roast, and there was no way that this made 16 servings- but it was still delicious! I followed the recipe exactly, making the roast in the oven, but I added beef broth and chopped onion to the pan while roasting. Two hours wasn't quite long enough to make this tender, so I added another 45 minutes to the cooking time. I made the sauce exactly, but in the end, I used my immersion blender to make it smooth (bits of onion and garlic would not go over well with some of my family members). I cooked and shredded the beef ahead of time, and then added it to my slow cooker. I poured the sauce over all, and refrigerated overnight. The next day, I reheated on low. It was perfect. It was also the perfect amount of sauce. Doubling it would have been too much.

Love this recipe, so easy - but make it SPICY! I agree to double the recipe for the sauce - eliminate the butter (not necessary) - for double recipe use 12oz chili sauce and 12oz Crystal hot sauce. Serve over baked potato or rice. Also just dump all ingredients in a pot and simmer until meat shreds easily.

Great recipe. I make the beef in the oven and then throw it in a crockpot with the sauce. I rolled the finished product and some shredded cheddar cheese into refrigerated croissants for a shower, and they went fast!

This was super yummy. I didn't have chili sauce in a bottle so I made chili sauce using a 15 oz can of tomato sauce, a tablespoon of sriracha, a tablespoon of roasted chili paste and a tablespoon of cholula. It had a really nice kick.

I needed to use up some leftover roast and followed this recipe almost exactly, scaling for 1 lb of beef instead of 4. I did wish there were just a little more sauce, but doubling it as suggested might have made it too messy....but that's just me. The taste was fantastic, good balance of flavors that still let the meat itself taste delicious. I definitely recommend serving this on garlic-butter toast. Thank you!

This makes the best BBQ beef sandwiches! I pretty much follow the recipe as is. I do cook the beef a little different. I rub my roast with a little kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, onion powder and a little garlic powder. I put it in a roasting pan and wrap it in heavy foil, cooking it at 300 degrees for approx. 3-3 1/2 hours. Turns out perfect every time! I do double the sauce and use about 6 lbs. of beef. My husband and son cannot get enough!!!
