- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 3 cups beef broth (Or stock, whatever is available.)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 pieces fresh crusty rolls (Hoagie rolls or French bread recommended.)

Optional add-ons

Instructions
Preparation
- Plop the chuck roast in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix over the top.
- Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Add any optional onions or herbs now.
- Cover and cook on LOW for about 8 hours (or HIGH for 4 hours, but LOW is preferred).
- Shred the beef with two forks once cooked.
- Toast the rolls, add a pile of beef, and lay on heavy slices of cheese.
