  - "***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

  - "***For the Onions***"
  - 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  - 2 tbsp butter
  - "***For Serving***"
  - Hoagie or sub rolls
  - Provolone cheese
instructions:
  - "**Season the roast** — Evenly season the chuck roast on all sides with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and buttery garlic & herb seasoning."
  - "**Sear 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."
  - "**Add the liquids** — Sprinkle the au jus gravy mix and beefy onion soup mix over the roast. Add the Worcestershire sauce and chicken broth."
  - "**Caramelize 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."
  - "**Top 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."
  - "**Shred 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."
  - "**Assemble 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."
  - "**Serve with au jus** — Ladle some of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker into small bowls and serve alongside the sandwiches for dipping."
