Legendary Mississippi Pot Roast
A simple, five-ingredient slow cooker meal that delivers incredibly tender, flavorful results with minimal effort.
Ingredients
- 1 piece chuck roast 3 to 4 pounds, look for good white marbling
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix dry powder seasoning
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 1/4 cup butter unsalted preferred, sliced into pats
- 4-5 whole pepperoncini peppers from the jar
Instructions
- Place the chuck roast in the center of the slow cooker insert.
- Dust the ranch dressing mix evenly over the roast, followed by the au jus gravy mix.
- Place the thin pats of butter evenly across the top of the seasoned roast.
- Scatter the whole pepperoncini peppers on top of the roast.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours. Do not add any liquid; the meat will provide its own juices.
- Once cooked, shred the meat directly in the pot using two forks and toss with the gravy before serving.
Notes
Leftovers store well in an airtight container for up to 4 days and often taste even better the next day.
