I make this for pot lucks when I feel like I need to cook something. I take packages of small rolls to make sliders and don't have a drop left. Be sure and take many copies of the recipe with you.
It's so good and known by so many names it was given the name of The Roast.
The Roast
1 (4-5 lb) beef chuck roast
1 envelope ranch dressing mix
1 enveolope au jus mix
1/2 cup butter, cut into tablespoons
5 Pepperoncini peppers (comes in a jar like pickles)
Place roast in crock pot. Sprinkle with ranch and au jus mixes. Place butter on top. Add peppers. Cook on low for 8 hours or until meat is very tender.
I pre heat my crock pot with boiling water and use a slow cooker liner. Pre heating takes an hour off the cooking time.
