Print Recipe

A melt-in-your-mouth tender Mississippi pot roast cooked low and slow in a crockpot with ranch seasoning, butter, and tangy pepperoncini peppers for a flavorful, fuss-free meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds chuck roast
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix (about 0.87 oz)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 jar pepperoncini peppers with juice (about 6–8 peppers, 4 oz)
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Pat dry the chuck roast and trim excess fat, leaving some marbling. Season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides.
  2. In a small bowl, combine ranch seasoning mix, au jus gravy mix, and minced garlic.
  3. Place the roast in the crockpot. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the roast, pressing lightly to stick.
  4. Dot the softened butter across the roast in small pats.
  5. Pour the entire jar of pepperoncini peppers and juice around the roast.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, avoiding lifting the lid during cooking. Alternatively, cook on high for 4 to 5 hours if short on time.
  7. Check for doneness by inserting a fork; the meat should shred easily. If not tender, cook an additional 30 minutes and check again.
  8. Remove the roast with tongs and shred the meat using two forks directly in the crockpot or transfer to a bowl.
  9. Stir the shredded meat into the juices and peppers to soak up the flavor.
  10. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or sandwich rolls.

Notes

Do not lift the lid during cooking to retain moisture and heat. For extra flavor, sear the roast before slow cooking. Adjust salt carefully as seasoning packets and pepperoncini juice add sodium. Let roast rest 10-15 minutes before shredding. Butter can be substituted with dairy-free alternative. Use gluten-free seasoning mixes for gluten-free version.
