A comforting and easy slow cooker Mississippi pot roast featuring tender beef chuck roast with ranch seasoning, au jus gravy mix, butter, and pepperoncini peppers. Perfect for busy nights and packed with bold, savory flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce) au jus gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick or 113 grams) unsalted butter, cut into pats
  • 6 to 8 pepperoncini peppers, with juice
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Sprinkle ranch seasoning mix evenly over all sides of the roast.
  3. Sprinkle au jus gravy mix over the roast, covering the surface well.
  4. Add freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  5. Place the butter pats on top of the seasoned roast.
  6. Scatter the pepperoncini peppers around and on top of the roast. Add minced garlic if using.
  7. Pour the beef broth into the slow cooker.
  8. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours until the roast is fork-tender and easily shredded.
  9. Remove the roast and shred with two forks. Mix shredded meat with cooking juices and peppers.
  10. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

Do not lift the slow cooker lid during cooking to maintain temperature. Butter pats placed on top help keep the roast moist and tender. For thicker sauce, reduce cooking juices on stovetop or add cornstarch slurry. Optional searing before slow cooking adds flavor but is not necessary. Use gluten-free seasoning mixes for gluten-free version. Pepperoncini peppers are key for authentic flavor; substitutes include banana peppers or pickled jalapeños.
