Step 2: Add the Roast

In a bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the roast.
Step 4: Add the Onion Soup Mix
Sprinkle the entire packet of dry onion soup mix over the top of the roast. No need to stir — it will blend during cooking.
Step 5: Cook Low and Slow
Cover and cook on:
- Low for 8–9 hours (recommended for maximum tenderness), or
- High for 4–5 hours if you’re short on time.
The roast is ready when it easily shreds with a fork.
