Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 to 4 lbs beef chuck roast Choose a good quality roast for best flavor.
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix This is the secret ingredient!
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup pepperoncini peppers Includes a bit of juice for added flavor.
  • 1 stick unsalted butter Adds richness and flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place your beef chuck roast in the slow cooker without searing it.
  2. Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and au jus gravy mix over the roast.
  3. Add the pepperoncini peppers on top and pour in a little of the juice.
  4. Place the stick of butter on top of the ingredients.
Cooking
  1. Set the slow cooker to low for about 8 hours.
  2. Once done, shred the beef with two forks and serve.

Notes

This pot roast tastes even better the next day; leftover can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Alternatively, freeze portions for later use. If pepperoncini isn't preferred, sliced bell peppers can be used instead for great flavor.
