Ingredients
  

  • 1 3 pound chuck roast
  • 1 1 ounce packet dry ranch dressing mix
  • 1 1 ounce packet dry au jus gravy mix
  • 1/4 cup butter 1/2 stick
  • 6-8 pepperoncini peppers
  • 1/4 cup pepperoncini pepper juice from the jar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Place the chuck roast in the bottom of your slow cooker. If desired, season with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  2. Sprinkle the dry ranch dressing mix and dry au jus gravy mix evenly over the top of the roast.
  3. Place the stick of butter on top of the seasoned roast.
  4. Arrange the pepperoncini peppers around the roast and pour the pepperoncini juice over everything.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the meat is tender and easily falls apart when pulled with a fork.
  6. Once done, shred the meat using two forks, removing any large pieces of fat.
  7. Stir the shredded meat back into the flavorful juices in the slow cooker.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
