Mississippi Pot Roast

Ingredients

  • 1 chuck roast (about 3 to 4 pounds)
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) of unsalted butter
  • 1 packet of Au Jus gravy mix (about 1 oz)
  • 1 packet of dry Ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
  • About 7 pepperoncinis, plus half the jar of juice (you can adjust to taste)
  • Optional: Salt and pepper to taste, depending on your roast size

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chuck Roast:
    If needed, trim excess fat from the chuck roast, but leave some on for flavor. Season the roast lightly with salt and pepper if desired, though the seasoning mixes provide a lot of flavor.
  2. Set Up the Crockpot:
    Place the chuck roast into the bottom of the crockpot.
  3. Add Seasonings and Butter:
    Sprinkle the Au Jus gravy mix and dry Ranch seasoning evenly over the top of the roast.
  4. Add Pepperoncinis:
    Place about 7 pepperoncinis on and around the roast. Pour half the jar of pepperoncini juice into the crockpot, which adds a tangy kick to balance the rich flavors.
  5. Add Butter:
    Place the stick of unsalted butter on top of the roast. It will melt down and create a rich, savory gravy as it cooks.
  6. Cook the Roast:
    Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on high for about 6 hours. Alternatively, you can cook it on low for 8-10 hours if you prefer a slower, more tender roast. The roast is ready when it’s tender enough to shred easily with a fork.
  7. Make the Gravy:
    Once the roast is done, remove it from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. The juices in the crockpot will have formed a beautiful, flavorful gravy. Stir the gravy well and taste to adjust the seasoning if needed.
  8. Serve:
    Serve the shredded roast with the gravy over mashed potatoes, or enjoy it with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, rice, or crusty bread.

Tips:

  • Optional Add-Ins: For extra flavor, you can add sliced onions or garlic cloves to the crockpot along with the roast.
  • Leftovers: This roast makes excellent leftovers for sandwiches or can be used in tacos, sliders, or even over rice.
  • Pepperoncini Adjustments: If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of pepperoncinis and juice. For more heat, feel free to add extra pepperoncinis.

This Mississippi Pot Roast is a wonderful comfort dish that’s easy to make but delivers bold, rich flavors!
