Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds chuck roast can be 2.5-3.5 pounds
  • 2 tablespoons onion soup mix 1 envelope
  • 3 garlic cloves minced or pressed (fresh garlic for best flavor)
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme herb for seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce for flavor
  • 10.5 ounces condensed French onion soup 1 can
  • 4 tablespoons butter divided (for toasting and melting)
  • 8 small hoagie rolls 4-inch or 4 large rolls 6-8 inch
  • 4 ounces provolone cheese sliced optional for topping

Method
 

  1. Place the chuck roast in the slow cooker. Season all sides with the onion soup mix, garlic, and thyme.
  2. Pour the Worcestershire sauce and onion soup over the roast.
  3. Cut 1 tablespoon of butter into two pats and place them on top of the roast. Place the lid on the slow cooker.
  4. Cook for 6-8 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low.
  5. Once done, carefully remove the roast and shred the meat, discarding any fat or connective tissue.
  6. Drain the fat from the juices and place the remaining liquid into a bowl or small bowls for the dipping sauce.
  7. Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Cut each roll in half and brush with butter.
  8. Place the rolls cut-side up on a baking sheet and broil for 2-4 minutes or until the edges are toasted.
  9. Assemble the sandwiches by adding the shredded beef to the rolls and topping with cheese (optional). Serve with au jus for dipping.
