Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season and sear the beef. If desired, season and sear the cubed beef in oil in a large skillet over high heat until browned and caramelized on all sides.
  2. Prepare the slow cooker base. To a Crockpot, add cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, onion soup mix, and the brown gravy mix. Whisk until combined well.
  3. Add beef to slow cooker. Place the beef in the Crockpot and coat with the gravy.
  4. Cook the beef. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, or until the beef easily shreds apart with a fork.
  5. Add vegetables (optional). If desired, add chopped vegetables or frozen vegetables to the beef mixture when 1 hour of cook time remains.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a 13x9-inch baking dish.
  3. Shred the beef. Using two forks, pull the cubed beef into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Thicken the filling. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water. Stir this mixture into the baking dish.
  5. Prepare the biscuit topping. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together milk, cheese, and the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix.
  6. Dollop biscuit mixture. Dollop 12 scoops of the mixture over the beef base.
  7. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked through and golden brown.
