Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the roast in a slow cooker.

  • Sprinkle dry onion soup mix, salt, pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic.
  • Add onions. 
  • Pour cream of mushroom soup and mix everything until roast is fully coated.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Add the carrots and potatoes (if you are using them) at 4 hours to prevent them from becoming too soft and "mushy." You can add them in the beginning too when you added everything else but I am not fond of the "soft and mushy" vegetable texture. 
  • Use 2 forks to shred the beef and enjoy!

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. 
  • If you are short on time, this can be cooked on high for 4-5 hours but it's not as tender as when you cook it on low for 8-10 hours.
