Here’s a simple slow cooker beef recipe using only three ingredients:

3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Beef

Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 packet (1 oz) onion soup mix
• 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup

Equipment

• Slow cooker
• Knife and cutting board
• Spoon for mixing

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Beef

1. Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast if desired.
2. Place the roast in the slow cooker.

Step 2: Add Flavor

1. Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the beef.
2. Pour the cream of mushroom soup on top, spreading it to cover the meat.

Step 3: Cook

1. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until the beef is tender and easy to shred.

Step 4: Serve

1. Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
2. Mix the shredded beef with the sauce in the slow cooker.
3. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or sandwich buns.

Tips

• For extra flavor, sear the beef in a hot skillet for 2–3 minutes on each side before slow cooking.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Add vegetables like carrots or potatoes if you want a heartier meal, though this will increase ingredients beyond three.

If you want, I can also create a version with only fresh ingredients—no canned soup—while still keeping it just three items. That can make it healthier and more natural. Do you want me to do that?
