You need this Mississippi Pot Roast recipe. It is the easiest, most flavorful slow cooker beef roast you will make, resulting in fork-tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat every time. This is classic comfort food made simple.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 lb chuck roast
  • 1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet dry au jus gravy mix
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup pepperoncini peppers, drained (reserve the juice)
  • 1 cup beef broth (or reserved pepperoncini juice)

Instructions

  1. Place the chuck roast in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle the dry ranch seasoning mix and the dry au jus gravy mix evenly over the top of the roast.
  3. Arrange the pieces of butter across the top of the seasoning.
  4. Place the drained pepperoncini peppers around the roast.
  5. Pour the beef broth or reserved pepperoncini juice into the slow cooker around the meat.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours.
  7. Once cooked, remove the roast and shred it using two forks. You can mix some of the cooking liquid back in for extra moisture, or use the liquid to make a simple gravy.
  8. Serve the tender beef over mashed potatoes or make classic pot roast sandwiches.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, use the reserved pepperoncini juice instead of beef broth as your cooking liquid.
  • If you want to serve this as a complete meal, add chopped potatoes and carrots to the slow cooker during the last 3 hours of cooking.
  • This recipe is naturally low in carbohydrates, making it a great choice for Keto or low-carb diets.
