Liquids and Seasonings
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Begin by slicing the onion and chopping the carrots as directed. Trim excess fat from the chuck roast if desired.
- Assemble in the slow cooker: Place the chuck roast in the slow cooker, then add the sliced onions and chopped carrots around and on top of the meat to infuse flavor during cooking.
