Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sliced smoked beef
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Optional toppings: cheese, pickles, onions
Instructions
- Place the beef chuck roast in a slow cooker. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and au jus gravy mix over the meat and pour 1 cup beef broth around it. Cook on low for 8 hours until tender.
- Remove the roast and shred it using two forks or kitchen shears. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker.
- Stir the sliced smoked beef into the shredded mixture and let it warm through.
- While the meat rests, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Butter‑side down, toast the hamburger buns until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
- Assemble each burger: place a generous mound of the shredded beef mixture on the bottom half of a toasted bun, add optional toppings such as cheese, pickles, or onions, and top with the bun lid.
- Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
- For extra smokiness, briefly sear the smoked beef strips before adding them to the shredded roast. Adjust seasoning to taste
- more ranch mix adds tang, while extra au jus deepens the gravy flavor. Nutrition is approximate.
