Trying to figure out what to do with that chuck roast you have had sitting in the freezer forever? Why not whip up a delicious Slow Cooker Shredded Beef and Gravy meal for the family? It is delicious on buns, by itself or alongside Yorkshire puddings!
How to Make Slow Cooker Shredded Beef and Gravy
To make this delicious meal, start by defrosting your chuck roast and placing it in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Now you’ll want to mix together the gravy mixes, onion soup powder (this one gives it a nice flavor boost!), water and broth.
Once you’ve whisked it to remove any lumps, pour it over top of the roast in the slow cooker.
Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
The roast will need to cook until it shreds easily with two forks, which takes quite a while so do this in the morning if you are planning on leaving it all day.
Once the roast has cooked completely, remove the strings from the beef, discard them and shred the roast into the gravy until mixed throughout. It should shred easily if you cooked it for our recommended amounts of time.
Now you can add it to a bowl to serve as is, on top of buns or even better, with homemade Yorkshire puddings (linked above).
Hope you enjoy it! If you do, please share the recipe with your friends!
Happy cooking!
