Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 (3 pound) boneless beef chuck roast

Seasonings and Mixes

  • 1 (1 oz) packet ranch dressing mix
  • 1 (1 oz) packet dry onion soup mix

Other Ingredients

  • 1 (16 oz) jar pepperoncini peppers, including juices
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Grease a 6 quart crockpot lightly to prevent sticking and set aside.
  2. Add the Roast and Seasonings: Place the 3-pound boneless beef chuck roast into the crockpot. Sprinkle the 1 oz ranch dressing mix and 1 oz dry onion soup mix evenly over the roast. Gently rub the seasoning mixes onto the surface of the roast for even flavor.
  3. Add Peppers and Butter: Pour the entire jar of pepperoncini peppers, including the juices, over the roast. Then place ½ cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter on top of the roast and peppers.
  4. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on LOW heat setting for 7-8 hours. Cooking low and slow allows the roast to become fall-apart tender and absorb all flavors. Alternatively, you may cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours, though LOW is preferred for optimal texture.
  5. Shred and Serve: Once the cooking time is complete, carefully shred the roast using two forks right in the crockpot. Serve immediately with the pepperoncini-ranch sauce, and enjoy your tender, flavorful Mississippi Roast.

Notes

  • It’s easiest to leave the stems on the pepperoncini peppers when adding them to the crockpot, then remove the stems after cooking before serving.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • When reheating frozen leftovers, thaw completely then microwave or heat on stovetop until warmed through.
