Steps:
- For the beef: Toss the roast in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker with the rosemary, salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Add the pepperoncini with their liquid and the beef broth. Cover and cook on low until the meat is very tender and easy to pull apart, 7 to 8 hours.
- For the caramelized onions: When the slow cooker has about 15 minutes left, heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the roast to a bowl and shred using 2 forks, then return it to the slow cooker to keep warm.
- For the sandwich assembly: Preheat the broiler. Put the rolls on a baking sheet and spread each with a tablespoon of butter. Broil until toasted, about 2 minutes.
- Heap a generous portion of meat on each roll, then spoon some of the cooking liquid over the meat. Top with a few pepperoncini from the slow cooker and plenty of caramelized onions. Put 2 slices of cheese on each sandwich and return to the broiler just to melt the cheese, about 1 more minute. Serve with potato chips and extra cooking liquid on the side for dipping.
- Allow the leftover beef to cool completely, then transfer to a resealable freezer bag with a nice portion of cooking liquid and freeze for later use. When ready to serve, thaw completely in the refrigerator, then heat through and serve with additional sandwich fixings.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Chuck roast or brisket are great options for slow-cooked BBQ beef sandwiches, as they have a good amount of fat and connective tissue that breaks down during cooking, resulting in tender, flavorful meat.
- Brown the Beef First: Before slow-cooking, brown the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. This step adds color and depth of flavor to the meat and helps to lock in its juices.
- Use a flavorful BBQ Sauce: The BBQ sauce is a key component of these sandwiches. Choose a sauce that you enjoy the taste of and that complements the beef well. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
- Cook the Beef on Low and Slow: The key to tender, fall-apart beef is to cook it on low and slow. This allows the connective tissue to break down and the flavors to develop fully.
- Make Ahead: The beef can be cooked up to 2 days in advance. Let it cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, reheat the beef in the slow cooker on low heat until warmed through.
Conclusion:
Slow-cooker BBQ beef sandwiches are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a mouthwatering sandwich that will satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. Serve the sandwiches with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or baked beans, for a complete and satisfying meal.
