Equipment

Crock-Pot 7 Quart Slow Cooker

Ingredients

3-4 lb chuck roast excess fat trimmed
10 pepperoncini peppers
1/2 cup juice from pepperoncini peppers
1 (1 ounce) packet ranch seasoning (or 2 Tablespoons homemade)
1 (1 ounce) packet onion soup mix
1/2 cup beef stock or water

Instructions

Place Chuck Roast in your slow cooker. (Optional 1st step: Sear the chuck roast in a pan on medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side until all sides are browned. Then, add to your slow cooker.)
Add Peppers, Juice, Ranch seasoning, Onion soup mix and Beef stock or water.
Cover with lid and cook on Low for 8 hours.
Remove meat to a platter and shred with two forks. Return to slow cooker and stir to combine with sauce.

Notes

To cook in Instant Pot: Add all ingredients to Instant Pot. Seal and cook on High Pressure for 65 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally for at least 10 minutes, then release remaining pressure. Shred the meat and return to the sauce.

Freezer Meal: For Freezer Meal prep, label a gallon-size freezer bag with slow cooker or Instant Pot cooking instructions. Place all ingredients in freezer bag. Seal, pressing to remove excess air from bag. Store in freezer up to three months. Thaw in fridge overnight when ready to cook.

Storing Leftovers: Cool completely and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat, microwave for 2-3 minutes until heated through or saute in a pan over medium heat until heated.

How to Serve: Serve as you would any pot roast, with mashed potatoes and a vegetable of your choice. Or try spooning the roast on a bun, top with provolone cheese and pop under the broiler just to melt the cheese.
