Print Recipe

A simple and flavorful slow cooker recipe for tender, juicy Mississippi pot roast sandwiches with a tangy pepperoncini and ranch seasoning blend, perfect for easy comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds chuck roast
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce) au jus gravy mix
  • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
  • 6–8 whole pepperoncini peppers
  • 2–3 tablespoons pepperoncini juice
  • 8–10 soft sandwich rolls (hoagie buns or slider buns)

Instructions

  1. Trim the roast: Remove excess fat but leave some marbling for flavor (about 5 minutes).
  2. Place the roast flat in the slow cooker.
  3. Sprinkle ranch seasoning and au jus gravy mix evenly over the top of the meat without stirring.
  4. Add butter sticks on top of the roast, scatter whole pepperoncini peppers around and on top, then pour 2-3 tablespoons of pepperoncini juice over everything.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until meat is tender enough to shred with a fork.
  6. Remove the roast and shred the meat using two forks, keeping the juices in the slow cooker.
  7. Return shredded meat to the slow cooker and stir gently to coat with juices.
  8. Warm sandwich rolls slightly in the oven or microwave.
  9. Assemble sandwiches by piling shredded meat on rolls, adding extra pepperoncini if desired.

Notes

For thicker sauce, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with cold water and stir into juices, cooking on high for 10-15 minutes. Use full 7-8 hours on low for best tenderness. Substitute almond flour for gluten-free thickener and plant-based butter for dairy-free version. Instant Pot can be used with 60 minutes cooking time on high pressure.
