Instructions

Season the Beef

Pat the chuck roast dry. Season all sides evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Place the chopped onion in the bottom of the crockpot. Set the seasoned beef roast on top.

Add Liquids

Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the meat. Cover with the lid.

Slow Cook Until Tender

Cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.

Shred the Beef

Remove the roast and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker.

Add the Noodles

Stir in the frozen egg noodles. Cover and cook on HIGH for 20–30 minutes, or until noodles are tender.

Thicken (Optional)
