BBQ Pot Roast is an easy and delicious family meal that only requires a few ingredients. A chuck roast is cooked in BBQ sauce with some onions and garlic and the result is the most flavorful pot roast you have ever tasted!
I don’t think there’s any better food for cold weather than pot roast. The BBQ Sauce defintely gives the pot roast a different feel and you could easily shred it and serve it in tacos as a spring or summer meal.
Slow Cooker Variation
I cooked this recipe in my oven but you could make it in your slow cooker instead. If you do you will need to cook it for about 7 to 8 hours on LOW or 5 to 6 on HIGH.
What Cut Of Beef To Use?
I like to use chicken roast for this type of recipe. It is relatively inexpensive compared to other cuts of beef and the fat marbling in it makes it cook up super flavorful and tender.
Type Of BBQ Sauce To Use
I like to use a thick and a little bit sweet BBQ Sauce, like a Kansas City-style sauce. I think it works best for this BBQ Pot Roast recipe.
The meat gets seared in a Dutch oven and then onion and garlic get added along with an entire bottle of BBQ Sauce. When I say BBQ Pot Roast, I mean BBQ Pot Roast! This meat has tons of bbq flavor.
Then it slow cooks in the oven for about 3 hours at which point it is perfectly tender, easily shreddable, and so full of flavor!
How To Serve
BBQ Pot Roast is delicious served with rice or potatoes for a filling family meal. It’s pure comfort food! It also goes well with a side of peas or Southern-Style Green Beans. And don’t forget the cornbread! You can also serve it on a hoagie bun and turn it into a delicious sandwich.
If you have leftovers, they make a great filling for quesadillas.
Storage
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days or frozen in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
