1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
8 oz egg noodles
1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for creaminess)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into large chunks.

Step 2: Slow Cook the Beef

Place the beef chunks into the crockpot.
Add beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, garlic powder, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
Stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until beef is tender and easily shredded.

Step 3: Shred the Beef

Remove the cooked beef and shred it using two forks.
Return shredded beef to the crockpot and stir to mix with the broth.

Step 4: Cook the Noodles

About 30 minutes before serving, add egg noodles to the crockpot.
Stir to ensure they are submerged.
Cover and cook on high for 25-30 minutes, until tender.

Step 5: Final Touches

If using sour cream, stir it in just before serving for a creamier texture.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
