Ingredients
- 3–4 lbs of beef chuck roast or rump roast
- 1 packet of Italian seasoning mix
- 1 packet of ranch seasoning mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) of cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup of beef broth
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper and sear on all sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes per side). Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
- In the same skillet, mix the Italian seasoning, ranch seasoning, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and heavy cream. Stir to combine and heat for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and shreds easily.
- Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
- Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir in Parmesan cheese. Let it simmer on low for an additional 20-30 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Serve on hoagie buns, over mashed potatoes, or with your favorite side dish.
Notes
- This recipe can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- For an extra creamy texture, add more heavy cream.
- You can use the shredded beef for sandwiches, tacos, or as a topping for rice or pasta.
