First time using a slow cooker – Mississippi pot roast

1 (3 pound) chuck roast

½ (12 ounce) jar pepperoncini

½ (12 ounce) jar pepperoncini juice

½ cup unsalted butter

1 (1 ounce) packet au jus gravy mix

1 (0.4 oz) package buttermilk ranch dressing mix

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Combine chuck roast, pepperoncini, pepperoncini juice, butter, au jus mix, ranch dressing mix, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low until roast is fork-tender, about 8 hours. I cooked on high for ; hours.

The recipe is adjusted for 8 servings. I halved the portions for 4 servings since it’s only two of us. Turned out great
