  2. About 30 minutes before serving, add the cream cheese to the slow cooker. Let it melt and combine with the beef juices, stirring occasionally.
  3. Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return it to the pot and mix well.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
Serving

Notes

Substitutions: Swap the beef chuck roast for shredded chicken or turkey if preferred—adjust cooking times accordingly. Keep the lid on while cooking to retain moisture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat with a splash of beef broth.
