Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep & Preheat

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).

Place chuck roast in a greased roasting pan or Dutch oven.

2. Layer & Pour

Spoon cream of mushroom soup evenly over the top of the roast.

Pour beef broth into the pan around the roast (not on top).

3. Bake Low & Slow

Cover tightly with foil or lid.

Bake 3.5–4 hours, until beef shreds easily with a fork (internal temp: 195–205°F).

Optional: Uncover last 20 minutes to deepen gravy color.

4. Rest & Serve

Let rest 15–20 minutes—juices redistribute for maximum tenderness.

Shred or slice beef; spoon rich, silky gravy over the top.

Serve with mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or crusty bread.

🍽️ Garnish: Fresh thyme or cracked black pepper.

Pro Tips for Success

Use full-fat soup—low-fat versions make gravy watery.

Don’t lift the lid—heat loss = longer cook time.

Make it ahead: Tastes even better the next day!

Freeze leftovers: Portion with gravy for quick future meals.
