A comforting slow-cooked Mississippi pot roast served on buttery brioche buns with rich au jus, perfect for an easy and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (about 0.87 ounces) au jus gravy mix
  • 7 to 8 pepperoncini peppers
  • 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Brioche buns (soft, slightly sweet)
  • Optional toppings: sliced provolone or mozzarella cheese, pickles, caramelized onions

Instructions

  1. Pat the 3 to 4-pound beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Optionally sear the roast in a hot skillet for added depth.
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and brush it evenly over the roast.
  3. Sprinkle one packet of ranch seasoning and one packet of au jus gravy mix over the roast, pressing gently to stick.
  4. Place 7 to 8 pepperoncini peppers on top of the roast and pour about 1/4 cup of their juice over it.
  5. Place the roast in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for about 4 hours until fork-tender.
  6. Use two forks or tongs to shred the beef in the slow cooker, mixing it with the juices.
  7. Slice the brioche buns in half and optionally toast them lightly.
  8. Pile shredded pot roast onto each bun bottom, add optional cheese or pickles if desired, then top with the bun crown.
  9. Pour the cooking juices from the slow cooker into small bowls for dipping as au jus. Heat gently or skim fat if desired.
  10. Serve immediately, encouraging dipping sandwiches into the au jus.

Notes

Searing the roast before slow cooking is optional but adds flavor. Use the pepperoncini juice for moisture and tang. Toast brioche buns lightly to prevent sogginess. Adjust seasoning after shredding if needed. For oven method, cook covered at 275°F for about 4-5 hours.
