A tender and flavorful slow cooker Mississippi pot roast featuring a rich, tangy pepperoncini butter gravy that melts in your mouth. This easy recipe uses simple pantry staples and cooks low and slow for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds chuck roast
  • 1/2 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz / 28 grams) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz / 28 grams) au jus gravy mix
  • 1 jar (about 7 oz / 200 grams) pepperoncini peppers with juice (about 1/4 cup / 60 ml)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the chuck roast, pat dry with paper towels, and season lightly with black pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine softened unsalted butter with ranch seasoning mix, au jus gravy mix, and minced garlic; stir until creamy.
  3. Place the roast in the slow cooker and spread the pepperoncini peppers and some juice evenly over and around the roast.
  4. Spread the butter and seasoning paste over the top of the roast, covering it well.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the meat is tender enough to shred.
  6. Remove the roast and shred it with two forks directly in the slow cooker.
  7. Stir the shredded beef into the pepperoncini butter gravy to coat evenly.
  8. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or sandwich buns.

Notes

If gravy is thin, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with cold water and stir in; cook on high for 15 minutes to thicken. Let meat rest 10 minutes before shredding to retain juices. Use softened butter to avoid gritty texture. Adjust seasoning at the end with extra black pepper or pepperoncini juice if desired. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and check seasoning packets for dairy.
