  • 3 -4 lbs boneless chuck roast, trimmed of most excess fat,and cut in 2 to 3 pieces
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar whole dill pickles, undrained
  • 1 large onion, peeled and cut in 8 wedges
  • 8 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 -2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • hamburger buns or kaiser roll, warmed or toasted
  • thinly sliced red onion, and
  • cold hamburger, dill pickle chips as accompaniment
  • Other condiments such as
  • barbecue sauce
  • mustard
  • mayonnaise, as desired

Method

  • Rub roast with black pepper, and place in a slow cooker.
  • Add whole pickles and brine, onion wedges, garlic cloves, and Worcestershire all remaining ingredients, and stir to combine.
  • Cover, and cook over low heat for 8-9 hours or until meat is tender.
  • Remove roast from slow cooker, and strain out and discard solids, reserving the liquid.
  • After meat has cooled enough to handle, shred the meat, removing any excess fat.
  • Return to sauce in crckpot, and heat through.
  • Using a slotted spoon, fill each bun with about 1/2 cup of the meat mixture.

  • These sandwiches really don't need much in the way of condiments, but a bite of cold dill pickle with each bite of sandwich really tastes good.
