Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Beef: Start by placing the chuck roast in your slow cooker. Sprinkle the onion soup mix, minced garlic, and dried thyme over the roast for a flavor-packed base.
  2. Add the Sauces: Pour the Worcestershire sauce and condensed French onion soup evenly over the seasoned roast. Finally, add a few pats of butter on top.
  3. Slow Cook the Roast: Cover your slow cooker and set it on high for 6-8 hours or low for 8-10 hours until the meat is tender.
  4. Shred the Beef: Carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred the beef into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Toast the Rolls: Brush the insides of the hoagie rolls with melted butter and place them under the broiler for 2-4 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Assemble the Sandwiches: Fill each toasted hoagie roll with shredded beef and top with provolone cheese, serving alongside the warm au jus.
