Equipment

  • Dutch oven or a deep 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Aluminum foil (if not using a lid)
  • small mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 boneless beef chuck roast 3 to 4 lbs
  • 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup 10.5 oz can
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix 1 oz packet

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a Dutch oven or deep 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Dry the chuck roast well with paper towels and place directly in the prepared baking dish.
  • In a small mixing bowl, stir together condensed cream of mushroom soup and dry onion soup mix until well combined.
  • Spread soup mixture all over the top and sides of the chuck roast, ensuring it is completely smothered.
  • Seal the baking dish tightly with a heavy-duty lid, or crimp a double layer of aluminum foil tightly around the rim to ensure the steam is trapped inside.
  • Bake covered for about 3 hours, or until the beef easily falls apart when tested with a fork.
  • Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice or shred as desired. Serve warm, spooning gravy on top as you go.
