Crock Pot Mississippi Pot Roast
This is one of those quintessential dump and cook recipes. Ok, really you sear the chuck roast first, but it’s not absolutely necessary.
So, heat a skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper on both sides. Brown the meat for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Transfer the roast to the crock, sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and beef onion soup mix (or au jus gravy mix)over the roast evenly.
Place the stick of butter on top of the dry mixes, then place the pepperoncini peppers on and around the roast.
I’ve also been known to pour a little of the pepperoncini juice in for some extra spiciness.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Once cooked use two forks to shred the meat.
Serve with your favorite pot roast sides like mashed potatoes. Or add potatoes and carrots with the roast before cooking. Enjoy one of the best slow cooker recipes for fork-tender pot roast!
