Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet au jus seasoning
- ¼ cup butter
- 6 Pepperoncini peppers plus ½ cup juice from jar
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy bottomed skillet, such as cast iron and then add the roast and sear on all sides.
- Place the roast in a 6 quart crockpot and sprinkle on the ranch and au jus seasoning.
- Slice the butter into 4 pieces and arrange over the pot roast. Top with the peppers and pour the juice from the jar into the bottom of the crockpot.
- Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. Continue cooking until pot roast easily shreds apart with a fork - this may take more or less time depending on how hot your crockpot runs.
- Remove the pot roast from the slow cooker and shred or slice. Spoon juices from the crockpot over the roast before serving.

Notes
- Be sure to use ranch seasoning and not ranch dip mix as the dip has a lot more sodium and will make for a much saltier dish.
- The peppers do not make this spicy. You may serve them with the roast or discard them after cooking.
