2-3 pounds chuck roast or similar cut
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 cups beef broth low-sodium recommended, or water
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce
1 medium onion chopped
2 cloves garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 pound egg noodles dried, fresh or frozen
1 cup mushrooms sliced (optional)
salt to taste
pepper to taste
½ cup heavy cream or 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional)

Optional: Brown the roast. Place a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add canola oil and the beef. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side until slightly browned.
Place the beef in the crock pot along with the broth, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning. Seal the lid and set to cook for 6-7 hours on Low or 4 hours on High, or until the meat is tender.
Use two forks to shred the beef into bite-size pieces in the crock pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Then add the noodles.
Cover and set the crock pot to cook on High for 10-20 minutes until al dente (note: the time will vary based on the noodles you're using).
To thicken the sauce, stir in the cream or cornstarch slurry. Let it bubble for a few minutes until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Serve warm.
