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.
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.
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!
BBQ Pot Roast is delicious served with rice or potatoes for a filling family meal. It’s pure comfort food!
