Instructions

Place the roast in the crockpot. Pour the soup and consomme over the top and then add garlic and Worcestershire sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. (For the most tender beef, cook on low)
For the dipping sauce, once the beef is done cooking, remove 3 cups of the juice from the crockpot and place it in a small saucepan. Turn heat to medium and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let cook for about 10 minutes or reduced by about half.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
Transfer the beef to a plate or cutting board and cut into thin slices or shred with two forks.
Open sandwich rolls and layout on a baking sheet, place the meat on each roll, and top with provolone cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and rolls are slightly toasted.
Serve immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

The recipe calls for beef chuck roast, but we've also used a cross rib roast, which is even more tender. Get whichever one is on sale. As it cooks the slow cooker will slowly break down even a tough cut of meat into delectably tender morsels perfect for piling high on a soft French roll.
You can add sliced onions to the crockpot with the meat if you prefer more atop your sandwich.
For the most tender beef, cook in the crockpot on low.
Hoagie, French or sourdough rolls all work with this recipe.
