This recipe is from another blog (mykitchencafe.blogspot.com) I thought is was very tasty.

1 1/2 cups beef broth

1 cup water

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon onion salt

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 bay leaf

1 (.7 ounce) package dry Italian-style salad dressing mix (such as Good Seasons brand)

1 (5 pound) chuck roast

1. Combine water and beef broth with salt, ground black pepper, oregano, basil, onion salt, parsley, garlic powder, bay leaf, and salad dressing mix.

2. Whisk to combine.

3. Place roast in slow cooker, and pour salad dressing mixture over the meat.

4. Cover, and cook on Low for 10 to 12 hours, or on High for 4 to 5 hours.

5. About 45 minutes before eating remove bay leaf and shred meat (with a fork) so it can absorb more juices.

6. Serve on crusty rolls with cheese, if desired.
