• 1 (3-4 lb) chuck roast

• 1 packet ranch dressing mix (like Hidden Valley)

• 1 packet au jus gravy mix

• 5-6 pepperoncini peppers

• 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice (optional, but adds extra tang)

Instructions:

Slow Cooker Method (Recommended):

1. Place the roast in the bottom of a slow cooker (no need to sear).

2. Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and au jus mix over the top of the roast.

3. Add butter: Place the stick of butter right on top of the roast.

4. Add pepperoncinis (and juice if using) around the roast.

5. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the meat is fall-apart tender.

6. Shred the meat with two forks and mix it with the juices before serving.
