How to Make Better Than Arby's Roast Beef Sandwiches

  1. Place a 3-4 lb beef roast in your slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 packet onion soup mix, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Pour the brown sugar mixture evenly over the roast in the slow cooker.
  4. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking. The internal temperature of the roast should reach 190°F (88°C).

  6. Serve the thinly sliced roast beef on your favorite buns with your choice of toppings (horseradish sauce, cheese, etc.).
