Follow these simple instructions to create a culinary masterpiece:

1. Sear the Beef: Begin by heating oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until it’s beautifully browned.
2. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Transfer the seared chuck roast to a slow cooker. Add the chopped onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, and optional sliced mushrooms.
3. Mix the Liquid: In a separate bowl, mix the beef broth (or water) and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this flavorful mixture over the roast and other ingredients in the slow cooker.
4. Season to Perfection: Season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring that every bite is packed with flavor.
5. Cook to Tender Perfection: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours (or 4 hours on high), allowing the beef to become tender and easily shred.
6. Prepare the Noodles: About 30 minutes before serving, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them, ready to serve.
7. Add Creaminess (Optional): For a creamy sauce, stir in the heavy cream (or cornstarch mixture) into the slow cooker during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Once the beef is cooked to perfection, shred it using two forks. Serve it generously over the cooked egg noodles, savoring every delectable bite.
9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, ensuring that the flavors are perfectly balanced.
