A comforting and tender slow cooker Mississippi pot roast featuring a unique ranch butter and pepperoncini blend that creates a juicy, flavorful meal perfect for cozy dinners and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 oz (28 g) ranch seasoning packet
  • 1 jar (about 8 oz / 225 g) pepperoncini peppers with juice
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth
  • Optional: 1 medium onion, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine softened unsalted butter and ranch seasoning packet. Mix thoroughly to create ranch butter.
  2. Pat dry the beef chuck roast with paper towels and season all sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Spread the ranch butter evenly over the entire surface of the roast.
  4. If using, lay a bed of sliced onions at the base of the slow cooker.
  5. Place the buttered roast on top of the onions or directly into the crockpot if skipping onions.
  6. Pour the entire jar of pepperoncini peppers and juice over the roast.
  7. Sprinkle minced garlic over the roast and pour beef broth around the edges.
  8. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours until the roast is fork-tender and easily shreddable. Alternatively, cook on high for 4-5 hours if pressed for time.
  9. About 30 minutes before serving, check that the roast pulls apart easily and is swimming in flavorful sauce.
  10. Transfer the roast to a serving platter and spoon juices and peppers over the top before serving.

Notes

Use softened butter for better coating; do not drain pepperoncini juice as it tenderizes the meat; rest roast 10 minutes before serving; if sauce is thin, remove roast and cook uncovered on high for 15-20 minutes to thicken; can substitute banana peppers for milder heat; dairy-free versions possible with plant-based butter and dairy-free ranch seasoning.
