Recipe: Crock Pot Mississippi Pot Roast

Crock Pot Mississippi Pot Roast

My sister was asking what she could do with a beef roast for company that was coming.  Here is a great and easy recipe for your family or company!

Ingredients:

1- 3 lb. chuck roast

2 tbsp. olive oil or vegetable oil

salt & pepper to taste

1 packet ranch dressing mix

1 packet dry onion soup mix

1/2 cup salted butter (1 stick)

8 pepperoncini peppers

Instructions:

Heat up a large skillet on high. Add oil to hot skillet. You want it really hot here to brown or "sear" the beef quickly.

Take a paper towel and make sure you dry both sides of the pot roast. Season with a little bit of salt and pepper. Once the skillet is nice and hot, add the roast.

Using tongs, flip the meat over and sear the other side of the roast for another 2-3 minutes.

Transfer meat to slow cooker. Sprinkle packets of dry ranch dressing and onion soup mixes over pot roast.

Top with a stick of butter then place peppers on and around roast.

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

Take two forks and start shredding the meat. Discard any big fatty pieces.

Then serve!

*Great side dishes with this roast are garlic mashed potatoes and a green veggie or salad.

*Or serve on sub buns with a slice of melted provolone or mozzarella cheese.  Pair with mac and cheese and a Caesar salad.

*You can skip the browning step if you are in a rush, or just don’t feel like it.
