Ingredients

  • 3 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 21 ounces condensed French Onion Soup (2 10.5 ounce cans)
  • 10.5 ounces Beef Consomme (1 can)
  • 8 sandwich rolls
  • 8 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

  • Place the roast in a slow cooker. Pour the soup and consomme over the top.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, or until the beef easily shreds apart with a fork.
  • Remove 3 cups of the liquid from the slow cooker with a measuring cup or ladle and add to a small sauce pan. Turn heat to medium and bring to a boil. Reduce to a hard simmer and let cook until reduced by half, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Transfer the beef to a shallow dish and shred with a fork.
  • Place the sandwich rolls on a baking sheet and spoon meat into each roll. Top with provolone cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve immediately with the sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

PLEASE NOTE: All slow cookers are different and some take longer/shorter than others. If your meat is not easily shredding after cooking, keep cooking it! It will get tender and easy to shred if it cooks long enough. If you double this recipe or use a larger roast, you will need to add cooking time as well.
