- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Place the 2 lbs beef chuck roast into the slow cooker, ensuring it fits comfortably for even cooking.
- Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine 1 cup BBQ sauce, ½ cup beef broth, ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well until all ingredients are uniformly mixed.
