• 1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix

• 1 packet (1 oz) au jus gravy mix

• 1 can (10.5 oz) beef broth

Instructions

1. Slow Cook the Beef

1. Place chuck roast in the crockpot.

2. In a bowl, whisk together onion soup mix, au jus mix, beef broth, French onion soup, Worcestershire, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pour over the beef.

3. Cover and cook on:

   • LOW for 8-10 hours (fall-apart tender)

   • HIGH for 5-6 hours

2. Shred & Serve

1. Remove beef, shred with forks, and skim excess fat from the broth.

2. Strain the broth into small bowls for dipping.

3. Pile beef onto toasted rolls, top with cheese, and broil for 1-2 mins until melted.

Tips

🔥 Extra flavor: Sear the roast in a pan before slow cooking.
🧅 DIY au jus: No packets? Use 2 cups beef stock + 1 tbsp cornstarch (simmer until thickened).
🍞 Leftovers? Use the beef in tacos, nachos, or omelets!

Juicy, savory, and irresistibly messy—the ultimate comfort sandwich! 😋

(Pro tip: Double the broth for extra dipping sauce!)
