Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Season the beef chuck roast evenly with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Sear the roast in the hot skillet for 3–4 minutes per side, until browned. Remove the roast from the skillet and set it aside.
In the bottom of a large crock pot, layer the sliced onion, carrots, and potatoes.
Place the seared chuck roast on top of the vegetables.
In a medium bowl, mix together the golden mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic.
Pour the sauce mixture over the roast and vegetables in the crock pot, ensuring the roast is well-coated.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours, until the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft.
Once done, remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot. If desired, use the remaining liquid to make a gravy by thickening it with a cornstarch slurry (mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and stir into the liquid).
Slice the roast and serve with the vegetables and gravy on the side.
