Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 packet (about 1/4 cup) French onion soup mix
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 12 mini slider buns (Parker House style or Hawaiian rolls)
- 12 slices provolone or Swiss cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine French onion soup mix, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- Pour beef broth into the crockpot. Place the roast on top and rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the beef.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until beef is fork-tender.
- Remove the roast with tongs and place on a cutting board. Shred or thinly slice the meat with two forks or a sharp knife.
- Return shredded beef to the crockpot juices to soak up the flavor.
- Slice mini slider buns horizontally. Pile shredded beef on the bottom halves and top with cheese slices if desired.
- Optional: Place assembled sliders on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts and buns are lightly toasted.
- Serve sliders warm with au jus from the crockpot in small dipping bowls.
Notes
Keep an eye on liquid level during cooking; add broth or water if it reduces too much. Let meat rest before shredding for juicier texture. For thicker au jus, add cornstarch slurry and cook on high for 10-15 minutes. Optional to broil sliders for melted cheese and toasted buns.
