Mississippi Pot Roast

[JustAnotherNut]

This is supposed to be the new 'internet sensation' recipe for a pot roast. Doing a search for the recipe comes up with gazillions of hits and after looking thru several of them, the most common ingredients are these........

3 to 5lb chuck roast
1 pkt dry ranch dressing mix
1 pkt dry Au Jus mix
4 or 5 pepperoncini peppers + 1/4 cup juice
1 stick of butter

Add it all to the crockpot and cook on high till the meat falls apart.


This makes it's own 'gravy' during cooking, but I did add about a cup of water to it cause I wanted plenty of the gravy for mashed potatoes. And it was a little thin, so I added a bit of cornstarch slurry at the end to thicken it up. It was sooooooo good and the peppers give it just a bit of a kick. YUM.

yes, juice from the peppers.

And the recipe does NOT call for the extra water, or the cornstarch slurry.......those were my own additions.

The meat could also be used as a sandwich and the juice in the pot used to dip it in. Like a French Dip. I can easily see putting it on a hoagie roll, add some raw onion, more pepperoncinis and some kind of cheese to melt, if you wanted.
