Instructions

Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Place sliced onions at the bottom of the slow cooker. Lay the beef roast on top of the onions.
In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, brown gravy mix, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this mixture over the beef and onions.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Cook for about 480 minutes (8 hours) until the beef is fork-tender.
If a thicker gravy is desired, remove the beef, whisk in a cornstarch slurry, and return the beef to the gravy.
Serve with mashed potatoes topped with shredded beef and rich gravy.

Notes

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Keep the lid on the slow cooker while cooking to maintain heat, and rest the beef after cooking for juicier meat.
