Ingredients

½ 12 oz jar pepperoncini
½ 12 oz jar pepperoncini juice
½ cup unsalted butter
1 1 oz packet au jus gravy mix
1 0.4 oz package buttermilk ranch dressing mix
Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

In a slow cooker, combine the chuck roast, pepperoncini, pepperoncini juice, unsalted butter, au jus gravy mix, ranch dressing mix, salt, and pepper.
Cover and cook on Low for approximately 8 hours or until the roast is fork-tender.
Once cooked, remove the chuck roast from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Serve the shredded beef with the delicious gravy from the slow cooker.

Notes

Opt for a chuck roast, which is well-marbled and ideal for slow cooking. This cut of meat becomes incredibly tender and flavorful after hours in the slow cooker.
Set your slow cooker to low heat and let the magic happen! Cooking the pot roast low and slow for about 8 hours ensures that the meat becomes fork-tender and absorbs all the delicious flavors.
