Preparation

Step 1

Pour the water into your slow cooker and place the meat on top. Sprinkle the top of the meat with the ranch and then the au jus packet. Place the butter on top. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours, shredding into the sauce after 7 1/2 hours.

Notes:

The drippings can be turned into gravy by heating in a saucepan with a little extra water if needed then once it's boiling add 1 tbsp. cornstarch that has been mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water. Whisk until it boils again and turn down to a simmer to thicken.
