Main Ingredients
- 3–4 lb chuck roast
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix (about 1 oz)
- 1 packet au jus mix (about 0.87 oz)
- 1 jar (16 oz) pepperoncini peppers, with juice
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the roast: Place the 3-4 lb chuck roast in the crockpot, making sure it lays flat for even cooking.
- Add seasonings: Sprinkle the entire packets of ranch dressing mix and au jus mix evenly over the top of the roast.
- Add peppers and butter: Pour the entire jar of pepperoncini peppers, including their juice, over the roast. Then place 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter on top, distributing it across the roast.
- Cook the roast: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Serve: Once done, shred or slice the roast and serve with the flavorful juices and peppers from the crockpot.
Notes
- Using unsalted butter allows better control of the dish’s saltiness, as the seasoning mixes and pepperoncini juice already add salt.
- For a thicker gravy, remove the roast after cooking and stir the juices, then thicken with a cornstarch slurry if desired.
- Adjust cooking time based on your crockpot’s heat settings and the size of your roast.
- The pepperoncini peppers add a mild tangy heat, but you can adjust the amount based on your spice preference.
- This recipe is great for meal prep and leftovers; the flavor deepens after resting overnight.
