Method
 

Directions
  1. Generously season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring all sides are well-coated. Set aside for about 10 minutes.
  2. Place sliced onions evenly in the base of the slow cooker. Position the seasoned beef roast on top of the onions.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, brown gravy mix, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. Pour the gravy over the beef.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low heat for 8 hours.
  5. If preferred, remove the beef to thicken the gravy with a cornstarch slurry, then return the beef.
  6. Serve by scooping a generous portion of mashed potatoes, topping with shredded beef, and ladling gravy.
