Your next party, serve shredded, slowly braised chuck roast in barbecue sauce for sandwiches.

My mother grew up in a house where there was constant entertaining.

Mom remembers Nana once feeding 80 people this dish at her small adobe house in Tucson.

Use a fork and knife to separate the roast into small pieces.

Increase the heat on the pot to medium/medium-high, uncover, and reduce the liquid until thick.

Stir often to prevent burning.

Return the meat to the liquid in the pan.

Add salt and pepper to taste.
