Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by generously seasoning your beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let the seasoned roast sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. Place the sliced onions at the bottom of your slow cooker. Lay the seasoned beef chuck roast on top of the onions.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, brown gravy mix, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the gravy over the beef.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 8 hours.
  5. Once the cooking time is up, remove the roast and thicken the gravy if desired using cornstarch slurry.
  6. Return the shredded beef to the thickened gravy and serve over prepared mashed potatoes.
