615 min
10 servings

Rich and decadent, the internet-famous pot roast that is to die for.

Ingredients

  • 4 lb. chuck roast (3-5 lbs will work)
  • 1 oz. ranch packet ((can use original packet, dip packet or spicy packet))
  • .87 oz. brown gravy packet ((I use McCormick) See substitutions in notes below)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter ((1 stick) can use salted)
  • 10 or more peperoncini peppers
  • 1/4 cup peperoncini juice ((optional but adds more tanginess and flavor))

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the roast to the slow cooker. You can brown the meat in a skillet on the stovetop if desired but I do not.

  2. 2

    Add the ranch packet and brown gravy packet on top of the roast.

  3. 3

    Add the stick of butter, peppers and pepper juice.

  4. 4

    Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or HIGH for 6-7 hours. Do not open the lid while the roast cooks.

  5. 5

    Shred with two forks right in the slow cooker. Remove any fatty pieces.
