Print Recipe

A fuss-free, incredibly tender, and flavorful Mississippi pot roast made in a crockpot with pepperoncini peppers and ranch seasoning for a tangy, creamy taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds chuck roast (well-marbled cut)
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce) au jus gravy mix (optional but recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (56 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 jar (about 8 ounces) pepperoncini peppers with juice
  • 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat your 3-4 pound chuck roast dry with paper towels. Trim any excessive fat but leave a thin layer for flavor. Season lightly with salt and pepper on all sides.
  2. Place the roast in the slow cooker insert. Pour 1 cup of beef broth around the roast, not over it, to keep the seasoning intact.
  3. Sprinkle the entire packet of ranch seasoning and the au jus mix evenly over the roast. Place 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter on top of the roast.
  4. Pour the entire jar of pepperoncini peppers — juice and all — over the roast.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork. Alternatively, cook on high for 4-5 hours.
  6. Remove the roast carefully and let it rest for 10 minutes. Shred with two forks and stir it back into the juices.

Notes

Let the roast sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking for even cooking. Avoid stirring early during cooking. Use leftover juices as gravy and reduce on stove if too thin. For faster cooking, use a Dutch oven at 275°F for 3-4 hours or pressure cook for 60 minutes with natural release. Substitute banana peppers if pepperoncini are unavailable. Use dairy-free butter and ranch seasoning for a dairy-free version.
