Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.

Place the seasoned beef in the slow cooker.

In a mixing bowl, combine barbecue sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and mix well.

Pour the sauce over the beef in the slow cooker.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it with the sauce.

Serve the pulled beef on toasted burger buns topped with coleslaw and pickles if desired.
