Ingredients

2 1/2 pound chuck roast
1 onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
4 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar (or a combo)
1 cup ketchup
3 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons mustard
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Spray a slow cooker insert with nonstick cooking spray. Place chuck roast in crock pot insert.
Combine all remaining ingredients in a bowl, pour over chuck roast.
Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 7 - 9 hours or until meat pulls apart easily.
Pull meat, return to BBQ sauce.
Serve on sandwiches, potatoes, rice or noodles.

Notes

I prefer a chuck roast but an arm roast or rump roast works too.
If your beef roasts are frozen, thaw first before putting in the crock pot.
Lemon juice or white vinegar work for this pulled beef sandwich recipe, or use a combination of both.
Celery could technically be omitted, if needed or desired.
Dried onion works in place of fresh, diced onion.
On a low sodium diet? Omit salt completely since ketchup has salt in it too.
