📝 Ingredients:
3–4 lb beef chuck roast
1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
1 packet (1 oz) au jus gravy mix
1 can (10.5 oz) beef broth
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed French onion soup
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
Optional: provolone or Swiss cheese, hoagie rolls or French bread
👨🍳 Instructions:
1. Assemble in the Crockpot
Place the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker.
Sprinkle the onion soup mix and au jus mix evenly over the top.
Pour in the beef broth, French onion soup, and Worcestershire sauce.
2. Cook Low and Slow
Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours or on high for 4–5 hours, until the beef is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.
3. Shred the Beef
Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot to soak up more flavor from the juices.
4. Assemble the Sandwiches
Preheat your broiler. Slice hoagie rolls or French bread, and add shredded beef to the bottom half. Top with a slice of provolone or Swiss cheese.
Broil for 1–2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve with Au Jus
Ladle the hot juices from the crockpot into small bowls for dipping. Serve alongside the sandwiches.
🧀 Tips & Ideas:
