Print Recipe

A simple, tender, and flavorful slow cooker pot roast featuring chuck roast, butter, ranch seasoning, and tangy pepperoncini peppers. Perfect for cozy dinners with minimal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds chuck roast
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce / 28g) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce / 28g) Italian dressing mix
  • 7–8 whole pepperoncini peppers plus 1/4 cup (60ml) pepperoncini juice
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) beef broth
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Optional: black pepper and salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the chuck roast, leaving some marbling for flavor. Pat the meat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, combine softened butter with ranch seasoning, Italian seasoning packets, and minced garlic. Mix until smooth.
  3. Rub the seasoning butter all over the roast, covering every side.
  4. Place the roast fat-side up in the crockpot.
  5. Scatter the whole pepperoncini peppers around the roast and pour 1/4 cup of pepperoncini juice over the top.
  6. Add 1/2 cup beef broth to the crockpot.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours until the roast is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
  8. Check for doneness; if not tender, cook an additional 30 minutes and check again.
  9. Use two forks to shred the meat in the crockpot, mixing it with the juices and peppers.
  10. Optional: Remove the roast and simmer the juices on the stove for 5-10 minutes to thicken the sauce.

Notes

Use chuck roast for best tenderness; brisket can be substituted with texture variation. For thicker sauce, simmer juices after shredding. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain heat. Adjust pepperoncini quantity for desired heat level. Use low-sodium broth and seasoning for reduced salt intake. Leftovers taste better after a day or two.
