Season the 3-pound beef chuck roast on all sides with salt and pepper (optional).
Place the roast in a slow cooker.
Peel and roughly chop 4 carrots and 4 potatoes into large chunks and add them around the roast.
Sprinkle 1 packet of onion soup mix evenly over the roast and vegetables.
Pour 2 cups of beef broth into the slow cooker, ensuring the liquid partially covers the roast and vegetables.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Remove roast and vegetables from the slow cooker. Shred the roast with forks if desired.
Serve hot with a ladle of the cooking juices over the top for extra flavor.
