A tender, melt-in-your-mouth slow cooker Mississippi pot roast with pepperoncini that combines bold, tangy flavors and comforting richness. Perfect for busy weeknights or family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1/2 cup (115 grams) salted butter
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 jar pepperoncini peppers (about 7–8 peppers with juice)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) beef broth (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Rub the ranch seasoning packet, garlic powder, and black pepper evenly all over the roast.
  3. Place the seasoned roast into the slow cooker. Cut the butter into 4 tablespoon pieces and lay them on top of the roast.
  4. Scatter the whole pepperoncini peppers around and over the roast, then pour in the pepperoncini juice from the jar. Add beef broth if desired.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours without lifting the lid.
  6. Check for doneness; the roast should be fork-tender and easily shred with forks. If not, cook an additional 30 minutes and check again.
  7. Remove the roast with tongs and shred the beef into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
  8. Return shredded meat to the slow cooker and toss with the juices and peppers.
  9. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite sides.

Notes

For extra flavor, sear the roast before slow cooking. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to retain moisture. Use beef broth for a saucier roast. For thicker sauce, remove lid during last 30 minutes. Substitute butter with dairy-free margarine for dairy-free version. Check ranch seasoning for gluten if needed.
