Crockpot Mississippi Pot Roast is a tender, flavorful slow-cooked beef dish infused with ranch seasoning, au jus gravy mix, butter, and tangy pepperoncini peppers. It offers effortless preparation with bold, savory flavors, perfect for an easy weeknight dinner or a crowd-pleasing family meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 3–4 pound chuck roast

Seasonings & Sauces

  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 ounce)
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix (about 1 ounce)

Other Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cut into pats)
  • 5–7 pepperoncini peppers, with juice
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup beef broth (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Roast: Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels to help the seasoning adhere better. Optionally, sear the roast in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side for more caramelized flavor.
  2. Add Ingredients to Crockpot: Place the roast in the bottom of the crockpot. Evenly sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and au jus gravy mix over the top of the roast. Lay pats of butter on the roast, then arrange the pepperoncini peppers around it. Add beef broth if using for extra moisture.
  3. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, until the roast is tender and shreddable.
  4. Shred and Serve: Remove the roast from the crockpot and shred the meat with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the crockpot juices and mix well before serving to soak up the flavors.

Notes

  • Choose chuck roast for ideal marbling and tenderness.
  • Patience is key—cooking on low for the full time yields the best tenderness.
  • Do not skip the butter — it enriches the sauce and keeps the roast moist.
  • Use fresh pepperoncini peppers and include their juice for the signature tang.
  • Keep the crockpot covered while cooking to trap moisture and heat.
  • Optionally add vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and onions for a complete meal.
  • For a spicy kick, add extra pepperoncini or hot sauce.
  • Cream cheese stirred in at the end adds a creamy texture.
  • Leftovers refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
  • Reheat gently to avoid drying out the meat.
