Beef Au Jus Sandwiches

Slow cook the following ingredients in a crock pot for six hours on low:

1 Chuck roast
1 cup of water
1 packet of dry au jus mix (found at the store near gravy mixes)
Season with onion powder, black pepper, salt

After slow-cooking for six hours, the roast will be very tender.  Either shred it with a fork or use a kitchen scissors to cut it into bits (while still in crock pot).  Strain meat and put it on hard rolls.  Put extra liquid into small dishes for au jus sauce to dip the sandwiches in.  Delicious!

A super easy hearty meal in one pot!

1 30 oz can crushed Tomatoes
