Servings: 6
Ingredients
-
3–4 pounds beef chuck roast
-
1 (1-ounce) packet dry ranch dressing mix
-
1 (16-ounce) jar whole pepperoncini peppers, with liquid
Mississippi Pot Roast Slow Cooker: Directions
-
Put the beef chuck roast in the bottom of a big slow cooker. No need to brown it first—this is super easy!
-
Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix all over the top of the meat. Cover as much as you can.
-
Dump the whole jar of pepperoncini peppers and all their juice over and around the meat.
-
Cover it with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours, or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours. Wait until the meat is very soft and pulls apart with a fork.
-
Use two forks to shred the meat right in the cooker. Mix it with the peppers and yummy juices.
-
Taste it. Add a bit more pepper juice if you want more zing. Serve hot with some juices on top.
Ways to Change It & Tips
If you want it more buttery like the old recipe, add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter on top before cooking (now it’s 4 items, but still easy). For less tang, use half the jar of peppers and save some juice to add later. Like spice? Pick hot peppers or add red pepper flakes with the ranch. To keep peppers crunchy, save a few and add them in the last hour. Use fatty chuck roast for best juicy results—skinny cuts get dry. Cook until it shreds easy, or it’ll be chewy. Keep the lid on while cooking. Thaw frozen meat in the fridge first. Cool leftovers fast and store in the fridge up to 3–4 days, or freeze for 3 months.
Serve over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice to catch the tasty sauce. Add green veggies like beans or salad. Use bread to sop up extras. Leftovers rock in sandwiches with cheese or tacos!
