I put a chuck arm roast in the crockpot and sprinkle a package of Lipton onion mushroom dry soup mix on it. Then add water or low salt beef broth to it. I usually need 1/2 to 1 cup of liquid depending on size of roast. I usually make about a 3lb one. Then cook on low for 6-8hrs. It will easily break apart with a fork and can be served on buns or noodles. Very easy and tasty!
