I love this easy recipe because it can feed a large family or can also pair as a great appetizer for your next gathering.

Smoked Beef & Cheese Sliders

Prep Time: 30 minutes | Cook Time: 4-5 hours | Yields: 12-24 servings

Prepare your smoker by setting the temperature to 250 degrees. While your smoker is coming up to temperature, season your chuck roast generously using Fire and Smoke Society Thundering Longhorn (or sub your favorite beef rub). Place your chuck roast on the smoker. Once the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, pull it off and place it in an aluminum pan with Worcestershire sauce and sliced red onions. Place it back on the smoker until it reaches an internal temperature of 205 degrees. Take it off and shred it up.

Get a 12 or 24 pack of Hawaiian rolls, and slice them lengthwise, so you have a top and bottom portion. Place your shredded chuck roast, onion mixture and white American cheese on the bottom part of the rolls, and place the top portion back on as well.

Melt your butter, garlic and everything bagel seasoning together, and brush the tops of the buns.

Place them back on the smoker for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
