Instructions

How to Make Mississippi Pot Roast

Place the beef chuck roast in a 6-8 quart slow cooker, ensuring it sits comfortably at the bottom.
Sprinkle the au jus gravy mix and ranch dressing mix over the roast, covering it well for rich flavor.
Cut the butter into pieces and distribute them atop the roast, then add whole pepperoncini peppers and a splash of juice.
Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 hours until fork-tender.
Use two forks to shred the beef in the juices, ensuring it soaks up all that delicious flavor.
Plate your Mississippi Pot Roast and serve with your choice of sides like cooked noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

Garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor. Ensure every inch of the roast is covered with au jus and ranch mixes for optimum flavor. Avoid overcooking; check about an hour before the end of the cooking time.
