Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 cup beef broth
- 12 slider rolls
- 12 slices provolone cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the beef chuck roast by patting it dry with paper towels and generously seasoning with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Place the seasoned beef chuck roast into the slow cooker, ensuring it fits comfortably in the bottom of the pot.
- Sprinkle the entire packet of onion soup mix evenly over the top of the roast, covering it completely.
- Pour the beef broth around the sides of the roast, being careful not to wash off the seasoning.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low heat for 8 hours, allowing the beef to become tender and easily shreddable.
- Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board.
- Using two forks, shred the beef, discarding any large pieces of fat.
- Strain the cooking liquid and reserve it for dipping sauce.
- Slice the slider rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.
- Place a slice of provolone cheese on the bottom half of each slider roll.
- Top the cheese with a generous portion of the shredded beef.
- Close the sliders with the top half of the rolls.
- Optional: Warm the sliders in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Serve the sliders hot with the reserved cooking liquid in small bowls for dipping.
Tips
- Choose the Right Cut: Opt for a beef chuck roast as it becomes incredibly tender when slow-cooked, making it perfect for shredding.
- Season Generously: Don’t skip the salt and pepper! Seasoning the beef before cooking enhances its flavor and ensures a delicious end result.
- Let It Cook Low and Slow: For the best texture and flavor, set your slow cooker to low for the full 8 hours. Patience is key to achieving that melt-in-your-mouth beef!
- Shred with Care: When shredding the beef, use two forks to pull apart the meat and discard any large pieces of fat for a cleaner bite.
- Toast the Rolls: Lightly toasting the slider rolls before assembling can add a delightful crunch and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Cheese Lovers Unite: For an extra cheesy experience, consider adding more than one slice of provolone or even mixing in other cheese varieties.
- Dipping Sauce Magic: Don’t forget to strain the cooking liquid! It makes for a perfect dipping sauce that complements the sliders beautifully.
- Make Ahead: This recipe is great for meal prep! You can cook the beef a day in advance and assemble the sliders right before serving for a quick and easy meal.
