INGREDIENTS

  • 3 lb. chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoon homemade ranch dressing mix
  • 2 tablespoon homemade au jus gravy mix
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 7 pepperoncini peppers
  • parsley garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Put your slow cooker on with the roast. The roast should be browned for approximately five minutes on each side in a large skillet set over medium-high heat.
  • Sprinkle the au jus mix and ranch dressing mix over top.
  • Place pepperoncini peppers around the roast and on top of it. Place diced butter over the roast.
  • The roast should be fork-tender after 8 to 10 hours of cooking on low with a lid on. Use a fork to check the meat after 8 hours. It's finished if it comes apart easily!
  • Once cooked, begin shredding the meat using two forks. Throw away any large, fat chunks. Then serve over rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes.

NOTES

  • Don't fill the slow cooker with more liquid. There will be a plenty of tasty gravy to share thanks to the butter and roast juices.
  • Before searing, dab the roast with paper towels. This is optional, but it speeds up and evens out the Maillard reaction, which causes the meat to brown.
  • To ensure that the pepperoncini peppers remain whole when cooking, use whole pepperoncini peppers.
  • Remember that the au jus mix packet has a higher sodium concentration and will taste somewhat salty if you want to use it in instead of brown gravy mix.
  • Add More Veggies. To enhance the flavor and make the slow cooker even more gratifying, try adding cubed potatoes, sliced onions, and chopped carrots to the mixture along with the other ingredients.
