Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by cutting the beef chuck roast into 2-3 inch pieces to ensure even cooking. Place the beef chunks into your slow cooker.
Sprinkle the onion soup mix and brown gravy mix generously over the beef. Use your hands to massage the seasoning into the beef.
Pour the apple cider vinegar over the seasoned beef, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Cover the slow cooker and set to cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
About 30 minutes before cooking time is up, prepare your mashed potatoes and warm your garlic bread.
Once fully cooked, plate the beef and its gravy over a generous serving of mashed potatoes and serve with garlic bread.
