Step 4: Add Vegetables (Optional)

If using potatoes, carrots, or onions, place them around the roast. As they cook, they’ll absorb the seasoned juices and become tender and flavorful.

Step 5: Slow Cook to Perfection

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook:

On LOW: 8–9 hours
On HIGH: 4–5 hours

The roast is ready when it’s fork-tender and easily pulls apart.

Step 6: Shred and Serve

Once cooked, gently shred the beef using two forks and stir it into the gravy. This step ensures every bite is coated with flavor.

Serving Ideas

Three Envelope Roast is incredibly versatile. Serve it:

Over mashed potatoes for a classic comfort plate
With buttered egg noodles
On toasted sandwich rolls for a hearty beef sandwich
Alongside steamed green beans or corn

Tips for Best Results

Chuck roast works best because its fat content keeps the meat juicy.
Avoid lifting the lid while cooking—heat loss slows the process.
Leftovers taste even better the next day as flavors continue to develop.
