• Cook Time: 7–8 hours
• Total Time: About 8 hours
• Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 3–4 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 packet brown gravy mix
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 large onion, chopped

Optional additions:

• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 potatoes, diced
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker
   Place the chopped onion (and optional carrots or potatoes) at the bottom of the slow cooker to create a flavorful base.
2. Add the Beef
   Place the beef chuck roast on top of the vegetables.
3. Season
   Sprinkle the brown gravy mix evenly over the roast so it coats the top.
4. Add the Liquid
   Pour the beef broth around the sides of the roast.
   This will help create a rich gravy as the beef cooks.
5. Cook
   Cover and cook on:
   • LOW: 7–8 hours
   • HIGH: 4–5 hours

   The beef should become very tender and easy to shred.

6. Serve
   Once cooked, slice or shred the beef and spoon the gravy from the slow cooker over the top before serving.
