What Cut of Beef Works Best for Pot Roast Sliders?

A well-marbled chuck roast is your best bet. It’s affordable, easy to find, and becomes incredibly tender when slow cooked. You can also use brisket or bottom round roast, though chuck tends to give the juiciest, shreddable results. Just make sure it has some fat running through it to keep the meat moist and flavorful.

Ingredients for the Crockpot Pot Roast Sliders

You only need a handful of ingredients to make these sliders, but each one plays an important role in layering the flavor and texture.

• Chuck roast
• Beef broth
• Worcestershire sauce
• Garlic cloves
• Onion
• Salt and pepper
• Italian seasoning
• Slider buns
• Provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
• Butter

The chuck roast becomes incredibly tender and flavorful during its slow simmer. A splash of beef broth and Worcestershire adds a savory base, while garlic and onions give depth and sweetness. Italian seasoning rounds everything out with a comforting herbaceous kick. And of course, the cheese and buttery buns bring it all home.

How To Make the Crockpot Pot Roast Sliders

Step 1: Season and Sear the Roast

Pat the chuck roast dry and season it generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sear it in a hot skillet with a bit of oil until both sides are browned. This locks in the flavor and gives the meat a rich, caramelized crust.

Step 2: Build the Flavor in the Crockpot

Place sliced onions and smashed garlic in the bottom of the crockpot. Add the seared roast on top, then pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is fork-tender.

Step 3: Shred and Return

Once the roast is cooked through, remove it from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the juices and stir to soak up all the flavor.

Step 4: Assemble the Sliders

Slice the slider buns and place them on a baking sheet. Pile the shredded beef onto the bottom halves, top with provolone cheese, then place the top buns over everything. Brush the tops with melted butter.

Step 5: Toast and Serve

Bake the sliders in a 375°F oven for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden. Serve warm and watch them disappear.

How to Serve and Store Crockpot Pot Roast Sliders

These sliders are best served warm, straight from the oven when the cheese is gooey and the buns are crisp. They feed about 6 to 8 people, depending on appetite and sides. For leftovers, store the shredded beef separately from the buns to keep everything from getting soggy. Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze the meat for longer storage.
