These are delicious piled high on soft buns and served alongside coleslaw, mac and cheese but I love serving them with this Bacon Pimento Cheese Potato Salad.

Ingredients used
- Chuck Roast – I like to use a beef chuck roast, it is the best cut of beef for this dish.
- BBQ Sauce – Use your favorite brand.
- Bacon – You can dice up and cook your own bacon, but feel free to use microwave or precooked as well.
- Onion- Sweet onions are perfect for this dish.
-
Worcestershire sauce– Gives a rich, savory flavor to the dish.
- Garlic- Fresh or jarred.
- Brown Sugar – Gives sweetness to this beef.
- Diced Jalapenos – These do not make it too hot at all, but you can omit them or use diced green chiles for a milder heat. You can also use bell peppers instead. I also have made these with pepperoncini peppers and they were fabulous!
- Colby Jack Cheese – Use your favorite, sharp cheddar, provolone cheese or pepperjack would also be great!
- Buns – I like to use brioche buns or sub rolls, but these also make great sliders. You can even use hoagie rolls or onion kaiser rolls. Any crusty rolls will be great!
- Crispy fried onions – The same kind you put on your green bean casserole :)
