Preparing the Slow Cooker Ingredients:
Heat olive oil in a pan. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper and cook in a non-stick skillet for 2-3 minutes per side.
Slice onions thin, and mince garlic, and add to now empty skillet, cook for about 3-5 minutes, until slightly browned.
Add to slow cooker along with all the slow cooker ingredients. Cook on low for 4-5 hours.
When done, remove roast from slow cooker and shred. Return to the slow cooker for another 1-2 hours.
Bake Your Buns:
Before ready to serve, butter the inside of your buns. You can also sprinkle with garlic powder or garlic salt if you want - and I always want!
Bake at 375 degrees for about 5 minutes. Spoon the meat/onion mixture onto the bottom of the buns. Add onions to the sandwiches if desired.
Cover with cheese and bake until cheese is melty.
