Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet over high heat, add olive oil until hot.
  2. Season the chuck roast on both sides with salt and black pepper, then sear for 2-3 minutes on all sides. Transfer to a plate.
  3. If using vegetables, sauté them in the skillet until caramelized, about 2-3 minutes.
Cooking
  1. In a 6-quart or larger Crockpot, whisk together the beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, Tony Chachere seasoning, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and the sautéed veggies.
  2. Add the chuck roast to the Crockpot and cover. Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
  3. Once cooked, transfer the beef to a cutting board and shred using two forks.
Serving
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and milk. Add this mixture into the Crockpot and stir well.
  2. Add the shredded beef and noodles to the Crockpot and cook on high for another 25 minutes or until the noodles are al dente and the liquid slightly thickens.
  3. Ladle your beef and noodles into bowls, serve hot, and savor the comforting flavors.

Notes

Consider adding more vegetables for added nutrition; root vegetables like potatoes work wonderfully. Serve the dish with fresh herbs like parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
