Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast

By Thom7747

To sear, or NOT to sear? That is the question!

Also, the peppers do not make this dish hot, it just makes it more flavorful. This type of pepper is more vinegary than spicy. I would not skip them because they really put this dish over the top. I served this over baked parmesan risotto, but it would also be good over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.

Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 3 lb pot roast (I used a Chuck Roast)
• 1 packet Ranch dressing mix
• 1 packet Au Jus mix
• 6 pepperoncini peppers (optional – but is the key “Mississippi” ingredient)
• 1 stick unsalted butter
