Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive oil
2.5 to 3 pounds beef chuck roast
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 1-ounce packages dry onion soup mix
2 cups water
2 14.5-ounce cans beef broth
6-8 slices swiss or provolone cheese
6-8 pieces crusty rolls (ciabatta recommended)

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season all sides of the chuck roast with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
When the oil starts to shimmer, carefully place the roast in the hot pan and sear it on all sides by letting it sit for a minute or two before flipping it.
Transfer the roast and the pan juices to your slow cooker. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the roast and add water and beef broth. Cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 8-10 hours.
When the meat is tender, remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred. Serve the shredded meat on sliced rolls with a slice of cheese. Toast under the broiler until cheese melts.

Notes

Using a frozen roast is fine; just add it to the slow cooker without thawing. You can also skip searing the meat and cook it directly in the slow cooker.
