Ingredients
  

  • 2 to 2½ pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 packet brown gravy mix
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 12 slices white sandwich bread
  • 3 to 4 cups mashed potatoes
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season roast with salt and pepper. Sear 2 minutes per side.
  • Place beef in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with gravy mix, onion soup mix, and garlic powder. Add Worcestershire sauce and beef broth.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until beef is fork-tender.
  • Shred beef with two forks and return to slow cooker; stir to coat in gravy.

  • To serve, layer white bread, shredded beef, and mashed potatoes. Spoon gravy over top and garnish with parsley.

Notes

Chuck roast gives the most tender texture.
Toast the bread slightly to keep it from getting soggy.
Store beef and gravy in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months.
