Prep: 20 min. Cook: 8 hours

Makes 10 servings (3 oz of meat each)

Ingredients
1 boneless beef chuck roast (2 to 3 pounds)
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium beef broth
1/2 cup water
3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
1 tablespoon adobo sauce
1 envelope au jus gravy mix
1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
10 French rolls, split

Directions
Place roast in a 3- to 4-qt. slow cooker; top with onion. Combine the broth, water, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, gravy mix, Creole seasoning, chili powder and cumin; pour over meat. Cover and cook on low until meat is tender, 8-10 hours.

Remove roast; cool slightly. Skim fat from cooking juices. Shred beef with 2 forks and return to slow cooker; heat through. Using a slotted spoon, place meat on rolls. Serve with guacamole or salsa if desired and the cooking juices.

Freeze option: Freeze individual portions of cooled meat mixture and juices in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally. Serve on rolls, with guacamole and salsa if desired.
