  • For the Roast
  • 2 lb chuck roast
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • Onion powder, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Buttery garlic & herb seasoning, to taste
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 1 packet beefy onion soup mix
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • For the Onions
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • For Serving
  • Hoagie or sub rolls
  • Provolone cheese
  • 1Season the roast — Evenly season the chuck roast on all sides with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and buttery garlic & herb seasoning.
  • 2Sear the roast — Melt 4 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chuck roast and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until nicely browned. Transfer the roast to your slow cooker.
  • 3Add the liquids — Sprinkle the au jus gravy mix and beefy onion soup mix over the roast. Add the Worcestershire sauce and chicken broth.
  • 4Caramelize the onions — In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp of butter. Add the sliced onion and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.
  • 5Top with onions — Spoon the onions directly over the roast. Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours, or until the beef is fall-apart tender.
  • 6Shred the beef — Remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the beef to the slow cooker and toss it with some of the onions and juices.
  • 7Assemble sandwiches — Pile the shredded beef and onions onto your buns and top with provolone cheese. For extra melty cheese, pop the assembled sandwiches under the broiler for a minute or two.
  • 8Serve with au jus — Ladle some of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker into small bowls and serve alongside the sandwiches for dipping.
