Crock Pot Mississippi Pot Roast

Crock Pot Mississippi Pot Roast is a tasty and simple dish that makes beef that is tender and juicy. When you mix ranch dressing mix, au jus gravy mix, butter, and pepperoncini peppers together, you get a flavor that is savory and slightly sour.

Place the chuck roast in the crock pot

Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and au jus gravy mix over the roast

Place butter on top of the roast

Add pepperoncini peppers around the roast

Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork

Serve the roast with the cooking juices, pepperoncini peppers, and optional sides like mashed potatoes or vegetables
