Instructions

Making the pot roast

Grab a large bowl and add your diced garlic, salt and paprika.
6 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, ¼ cup sweet paprika
Crush down the garlic into the paprika and salt mixture to release the juices from the garlic.
Pre-heat a heavy bottom pan over the stove on medium heat.
Take your chuck roast and press it into your spice mixture making sure to coat the whole roast. You may have to pick up some of the spice mixture and press it on to the meat.
3 lb Chuck roast
Once your pot is pre-heated, add your olive oil.
2 tablespoon olive oil
Now add your chuck roast and sear all sides well.
Once you have seared all sides of the meat, place the chuck roast in the slow cooker.
In the same pan you seared the meat, add the water and deglaze the pant. Let it bubble up and scrape down any brown bits from the bottom.
1 cup water
Pour the liquid from deglazing over top of your chuck roast in the slow cooker.
Place the lid on the slow cooker and set it to low and cook for about 6 hours or until is is fork tender and shreds easily.
Once tender, remove roast from the slow cooker on to a plate.
With two forks, shred the pot roast making sure to remove any excess fat.
Place shredded pot roast back into the slow cooker (set to warm) with the pan juices and mix well.

Assembling sandwiches

Pre-heat the broiler in your oven.
Slice hoagie rolls in half lengthwise.
4 hoagie rolls
Place hoagie rolls on to a large sheet pan.
Now butter the inside of the hoagie rolls.
¼ cup butter
Add cheese slices on top of the buttered rolls.
8 slices of American cheese
Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until browned and cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and begin to scoop the shredded meat and place it evenly on the rolls.
Serve immediately.
