Cooking Instructions
- Prepare the Chuck Roast:
- Season the chuck roast generously on all sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Sear the Roast:
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for about 2 minutes on each side until browned.

- Cook:
- Cover the crockpot with a lid and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender.
- Shred the Beef:
- Once cooked, remove the roast from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Discard any excess fat. Mix in a bit more Arby’s sauce for added flavor.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Preheat your oven’s broiler. On a baking sheet, lay out the onion buns. Add a generous scoop of shredded beef to each bun, top with sliced onions from the crockpot, cheddar cheese, and drizzle with Arby’s sauce.
- Melt the Cheese:
- Place the sandwiches under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and the buns are toasted. Keep a close eye to prevent burning!
- Final Touch:
