A comforting slow cooker pot roast featuring tender chuck roast infused with tangy pepperoncini peppers and bell peppers, perfect for cozy dinners with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds chuck roast, well-marbled
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz/28 g) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz/28 g) au jus gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick or 113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 6–8 pepperoncini peppers including 1/4 cup (60 ml) pepperoncini juice
  • 2 medium bell peppers (preferably one red and one yellow), sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. Optionally, sear the roast in a skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil for 3-4 minutes per side until golden.
  2. Slice bell peppers into thin strips, mince garlic, and thinly slice the onion. Set aside.
  3. Place the seared or raw roast in the slow cooker. Sprinkle ranch seasoning and au jus gravy mix evenly over the top.
  4. Dot the softened butter over the roast. Arrange sliced bell peppers, onion, and pepperoncini peppers around and on top of the roast. Pour in 1/4 cup of pepperoncini juice.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours until the meat is tender and shreds easily.
  6. Check tenderness after cooking; if needed, cook for an additional 30 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
  7. Serve the roast and peppers with cooking juices drizzled on top. Pairs well with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.

Notes

Searing the roast is optional but adds richer flavor. Use low and slow heat to keep meat tender. Pepperoncini juice is key for tang and balance. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil or plant-based spread. If no slow cooker, use a Dutch oven at 300°F for 3-4 hours. Stir peppers halfway through cooking if possible. Rest roast 10 minutes before shredding.
