I made this with the exception of adding potatoes to the crock pot. I thought it was a welcome change from my normal crock pot roast. I also thought the peppers were a nice addition to the roast. I will make it again.

Don't put it in the crock pot without browning it on all sides first. If you don't itll get tough while cooking

This is one pot recipe I've used many times. Recently I did a small group taste test with Mississippi Pot Roast and another well known and loved pot roast. When they were side by side the Mississippi Pot Roast was the clear winner. I do recommend searing the Roast prior to the crockpot cooking.

I've made this with a stick of butter, packet of ranch & au ju gravy packet on top of the roast & it is delicious!
12/10/2017
I make mine very similar except put potatoes and baby carrots on the bottom, then the roast, then sprinkle on the ranch and au jus, finally add the peppers and juice. My only real change is to lay a stick of unsalted butter on top. I very seldom eat any meat and even I think this is super delicious.

Agree with the butter reco and even as I like salt you can go easy on it as the packets and pepperoncinis have plenty of it included. Also you want sliced pepperoncinis. Recipe didn't seem to specify that.

This roast is perfect! We make this often , it's great over mashed potatoes or wild rice. I have also had it on a crusty roll with a slice of provolone and put under the broiler! My sister has made this with chicken and it was also delicious.

DO NOT ADD CARROTS! I added veggies as a lot of reviewers did but the carrots are horrible! They tasted pickled andwe did not care for them at all! The meat was nice and tender and may have worked but because the vegetables absorbed the pepper liquid, the meal was ruined. We ordered pizza. (I totally understand that the recipe did not ask you to add vegetables and the fault lies with me for changing it.)

I made this tonight, and it was incredible. The roast was tender beyond comparison. The mixture of au jus, ranch, and pepperocinni gave it a deep flavor that ends with a little kick. I made it a 2nd time and added a hack... After the beef was done I shredded it into a casserole dish, added in some of the Au Jus gravy, threw a bag of mixed veggies on top, then topped it all off with mashed potatoes and twice baked it on 350 for 30 minutes and it was even more perfect.
12/11/2017
This is a great roast! The recipe I used originally left out the peppercini juice (which I will add next time), but called for a half stick of butter (which keeps the meat super moist). We use this for shredded beef tacos... YUM!
12/25/2017
Fantastic!!! My wife and I made this for Christmas dinner, with one of my sisters for company, and we all LOVED it! No variations to the ingredients, but several other reviewers suggested searing the roast before going to the slow cooker, so we tried that. The results were excellent, and we will definitely make this again. Some others (and another recipe) suggested adding a stick of butter; we didn't do that, and after dinner, we all felt that it didn't need it.
12/10/2017
This looks delicious. Looking forward to trying it. I think I will sear the outside of the roast before putting it in the crockpot. I always find beef gets way to dry when cooked in a crockpot
10/26/2017
My husband and I think it's one of the best roasts I've ever made. Served it over mashed potatoes. Can't wait to make it again.
12/26/2017
I totally see why this recipe got a 5-star rating. this was the best roast I've ever made.. I followed the instructions as written however I did put a stick of butter on top of the roast at the beginning and added a corn starch slurry at the end to thicken the delicious gravy. since I did cut this over a bed of potatoes and carrots I did not make mashed potatoes with this but that would make it would be perfect. this will be my go-to recipe for all pot roast from now on ..you cannot go wrong with this recipe
12/19/2017
This was delicious! I used a 3lb chuck roast, followed recipes except for adding a 1/2 stick butter to the top of the roast, two chunked potatoes, onion and used a 16oz jar sliced peppers and the juice. Next time all the same but half of the pepper juice. Also browned the meat on all sides before putting in crock.
12/17/2017
We LOVED this recipe! A great weeknight protein recipe that is so easy. I used the entire bottle of pepperocini and approx. 6oz of the remaining liquid in the bottle. Could have used it all. The meat just falls apart, and is delicious. I served on french bread bagettes and used the liquid as a dipping sauce. Will make this again and again!
12/14/2017
I followed the recipe except I omitted the salt this was so salty I couldn't eat it I don't know what went wrong
12/20/2017
I used a Pork roast. Love Love Love it! My go to from now on. Give it a try!
12/10/2017
i have been making this for years....it is a huge hit with all ages and I serve it on crusty buns with a dollop of marinara sauce sprinkled with shredded mozzarella many times as well as over noodles or mashed potatoes...
01/22/2018
Made this with Lipton onion soup packet , ranch packet, butter and the peppercinis. It was so tender and had a great flavor!! How simple I will definitely be making this again.
01/19/2018
The only changes I made was left out the additional salt. This was the best roast I've made and will be making this again.
07/28/2019
I've actually made this a dozen times or so, and it never, EVER disappoints! Seer the roast on all sides first, then prep as directed. Fantastic flavors, the roast pulls apart with a fork, and the peperoncini's melt in your mouth. It's in the monthly rotation at my kids house, and several friends too!
01/11/2018
I seared the roast first, and added half a stick of butter per other reviews. Did not add any extra salt. Delicious! Used the juices to make a gravy; plenty salty but tasty. Beef was very tender and I served it with mashed potatoes. Will make again.
09/11/2018
Made as suggested and added 1/2 stick of unsalted butter - this will cut the salt- makes a big difference. I might actually up this to 4lbs of meat for a family with 2 teenagers! It was amazing and we will definitely make again!
12/17/2019
I've made this at least a dozen times. But the sodium in the a ju and the ranch is too much. So I cut the a ju in half and I add a whole jar of peppercinis with 1/3 cut of the juice. You can add a can of mushrooms too! So delish!! The meat just falls apart.
08/15/2018
I have made this recipe twice now. First time i followed instructions exactly. While good i thought it lacked a punch. This time i added a few modifications. I added half a package of onion soup, roasted garlic cloves, and chopped onions. It had that punch i was looking for... *My rating is for the recipe as is.
12/11/2017
I added a whole stick of butter to mines
06/18/2018
Like others I frequently add my own touches to recipes. Not this time. I followed the recipe almost exactly, I left out the additional salt. I also read a majority of the reviews so I was aware that several people thought this on the salty side. With this in mind I read the ingredient lists on the three au jus choices I had: McCormick's, Lawrys and Johnny's. The first two had salt as the first ingredient while Johnny's had salt as the third, so I chose this. I also did NOT put in any additional salt. That said this was way too salty, and I love salt. I had to take all the juices in the crock pot, remove the grease from the rendered fat and then cut the broth with water. This helped greatly in reducing the salty taste but left the juices tasting weak. I added some red wine which added more heartiness to the broth. This saved the dinner. Not a recipe I'll be repeating.
12/11/2017
This was amazing. My husband is not a big fan of pot roast but he said he would happily eat this again. I followed the recipe as written but I added potatoes, carrots, and onions since that's how I traditionally make my roasts.
12/11/2017
I have made this recipe several times. Pot roast doesn't get any better than this. However, the recipe I have also calls for 1 stick of butter (not margarine). All of my family loves it!
02/09/2018
This is similar to the filling for a Chicago beef sandwich. I made it exactly as directed, and my family loved it
12/15/2017
bomb on a hoagie bun dipped in the sauce.
01/31/2019
I should've timed myself. It might have taken less than a minute to throw everything in the pot and that was it! Used pre-sliced pepperoncini and served with garlic butter pasta. Soooo easy and delicious!
02/13/2018
Unique flavor! Looking forward to making it again.
12/11/2017
Love this recipe. Nice change up for beef roasts
12/11/2017
I make this with pork roast and 1/2 stick of butter. It also works really well with chicken breast. My husband loves to make sandwiches for lunch with the leftovers!
12/26/2019
I often make a 2-ingredient pot roast with just a hunk of meat and a jar of pepperoncini, but this adds a bit of depth to it. I made minor changes and took it to a pot luck. I used stew meat instead of the roast, browned it up well, added a can of beef consommé and half a jar of medium pepperoncini, with just a splash of the juice. I'm a big fan of Penzey's Spices, so I stirred in a generous amount of their Creamy Peppercorn Dressing. I cooked it in my Instant Pot for an hour and it was perfect. We like it spicier at home, so next time I make it, I'll add Penzey's Black and Red Pepper and serve over mashed potatoes. Would be great in a sandwich or over rice, too.
12/10/2017
Super easy, really delicious. Everyone in the family loved it. It's a recipe that I've made often.
12/11/2017
I have made this for years. I add half a stick of salted butter.
06/04/2018
would make again
04/27/2019
Made following the recipe . Rave reviews from all. Fantastic !!! Also makes a great roast beef poor boy sandwich.
02/12/2019
I made it but I used beef cube instead....The only meat I had on hand. I made as the recipe describes, only I was confused, because the ingredients said Ranch dip packets, but the directions say use the buttermilk ranch dressing, either way I used the packet because it was what I had on hand and it was delicious!!! My dad and I ate it all!!! Now it did have a little kick to it that probably wouldn't have been as bad with the dressing?? But overall we had a winner! Will definitely be adding it to our recipe rotation!!!Thanks
04/12/2019
My new favorite roast!!
02/02/2019
This is a great change from the same ole boring crock pot roast! The peppers give it a nice kick! I used half hot, half mild pepperocinis. I also used my instant pot so i could brown it and cook it same pot! I think it only took 2.5 hours from beginning to eat in the instant pot. My kids like it over rice.
12/11/2017
This is now my go to recipe for roast. We had the regular roast I've made for years earlier this week (12-04-17) and it had no zing. I will only use this recipe from now on.
12/17/2017
Ohhhhh yummy! Awesome recipe !! We used pork roast instead of beef and it turned out excellent :) This recipe is a keeper v!
07/10/2020
Oh. My. Gosh. I followed the directions and added a block of cream cheese. I cooked this for 10 hours in the crockpot and served it in a croissant. Hollllllyyyyy yum! Everyone ate until they felt sick hahaha!! This is the best crockpot recipe I've ever made.
12/11/2017
Found this recipe a couple of years ago, and now I never cook roast any other way! Yum!!
12/29/2017
It was tasty. I didn't have enough peppers, which I love. Next time I might try to change up so I don't have to use packet ranch product, prefer not to use of I can.
12/17/2017
Everyone loved this recipe. We will have this again. I used the pork instead of beef but followed the recipe exactly.
02/08/2018
I was so disappointed in this recipe, but it's probably just me. I don't use salt due to blood pressure issues. I left out the salt, but didn't take into account the salt in the au jus & buttermilk ranch packets. It was so salty I couldn't eat it. I even tried the old trick of putting some raw potatoes in it to take out the salt. I hate to waste food, especaily meat, but this went into the garbage. Sorry...but this is the first recipe I can say I will not make again until I figure out a way to delete all the salt/sodium somehow.
01/06/2020
Excellent!! Was introduced to it by a friend and then my daughter has made it. Finally tried it myself and it's so easy and the best tasting roast!! A change from the traditional roast potatoes carrots celery and onion we had every Sunday growing up :)!
06/24/2018
perfect unless you want a very low sodium diet.
05/06/2020
This pot roast is a total 10. My husband had a fit over it. The only recommendation I would make is don't the salt - the 2 packet of mixes have plenty of salt already in them.
11/13/2017
Definitely will make again. It was great..
12/16/2017
I made this following the exact recipe. It came out superb! I did use the meat to make a pot roast Shepard's pie and it turned out awesome. The family loved it, so it was voted into the dinner time must makes for winter.
10/23/2018
Good recipe. Very tender meat. A little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it!
04/27/2019
Easy and delicious
02/08/2019
Very tasty and easy!
01/20/2020
My family loved this recipe!! I loved the flavors and the pepperoncini.
11/14/2018
Seared it first. Definitely makes enough juice, no need to add liquid. Perfect just three was it is. I hate pot roast... first one I have liked. Actually loved.
05/03/2020
I used onion soup mix instead of au jus, Gives it a great flavor.
12/11/2017
Delicious and I didn't even use the au jus mix. I browned mine first and I think that helped develop the flavor. This is a keeper... and add extra peppers.. they're mild and impart a great flavor and they mellow out during the cooking. I also added about 1/2 stick of butter.. it makes for a great sauce! I used sliced pepperocini..like 95% of the jar! Next time, I'll add the whole jar of sliced, the ranch packet, and maybe a cup of chicken or beef broth. I did not add salt and the flavor was perfect... Please make this, you'll be happy you did... even if you don't like ranch, like me!! It tastes nothing like ranch dressing when it's done. The recipe is very forgiving.. just do not add carrots because they'll come out pickled! And they take away some of the flavor from the meat..
12/25/2017
great recipe, family really enjoyed it. the only thing I did different was to buy the Chuck roast pre cut up and browned it first in Dutch oven then into the oven at 250 degrees for about 3 hours until fork tender!
01/24/2020
I made this just as the recipe said, minus salt and pepper. it was good!!! Made some mashed potatoes for it to go over. I almost are it all during the taste tester period... Lol. Will definitely make again. Thank you.
12/12/2017
I did not sear first. Used 5 Pepperoni, more if small and used regular 'Ranch Dressing/Hidden Valley'. Made it many many times. Always successful! No Compaints! Use side dishes of green beans and potatoes or put it in tortilla. No fail with this one.
03/27/2019
Yum! Most ranch packets are much more than the recipe calls for do be careful not to use too much. Made it as written and added baby red potatoes the last three hours.
12/13/2017
Made this as written, except I browned the meat first. It was delicious and I'll definitely add it to our rotation!
02/03/2020
Perfect and sooooo simple.
04/27/2019
This is my favorite pot roast recipe. I add more peppers and pepper juice. Otherwise I make it just like it's printed. So much flavor!
07/30/2019
A family favorite!
12/18/2017
I've made this numerous times! This is my teenage sons absolute favorite roast! I do sear the roast before throwing it in the crockpot & then add butter to the top of it. Delicious! My whole family makes it.
11/11/2019
Added 1/2 stick UNSALTED butter
03/31/2019
Seriously one of the easiest, tastiest dishes ever. Makes me love pot roast even more.
03/13/2022
I let it sit overnight in the refrigerator after cooking so the fat would congeal on top, makes it very easy to skim the fat off and you can control how much fat you leave in but if you're worried about the fat and fat calories, you can get rid of as much as you want.
03/14/2022
We've made this a few times and love it.
It is a bit more kid friendly of you reduce the number of Pepperoncini to just three or four uncut whole ones.
The last time we used a healthy portion of cut Pepperoncini and our five kids wouldn't eat it even though they had gobbled it up in the past.
03/13/2022
Everyone loved so tender
03/16/2022
I used 1/2 package of Lipton Onion soup mix instead of the au jus package. I followed the rest of the recipe as written. We didn't like it because it tasted like the peppers and little else. The meat was tender so I will make it again with some beef broth instead of the peppers and juice, along with the other ingredients.
03/27/2022
I made it just as the recipe stated but added a little red wine. We had it the first night with mashed potatoes & it was fabulous. The next day we had the leftovers on toasted steak rolls a la Italian Beef sandwiches. I'm definitely going to make it again & again & again! TOO easy and great results!
03/22/2022
Made exactly as recipe except did add 1/2 stick unsalted butter on top per other reviews. We ate it on tortillas cause there was no juice after shredding. We all love spicy but it was really dry. Do have to say it's much better the next day. Glad I tried it but gonna have to go back to my regular roast in crockpot per family requests.
03/21/2022
I made this on a whim and it was good! My husband not a fan of ranch but trust me, you do not know it's in there. Good flavor. I had to cook a lot longer as didn't dear it and yes got a bit tough, so I cut it up and let it cook longer. I will try with potatoes next time :)
12/19/2021
This is the best pot roast recipe we've tried. My husband loves it.
11/12/2021
Nope. This dish was definitely not for us. It smelled wonderful when it was cooking, and it certainly wasn't lacking in flavor, but it was far too spicy for us. I tried to subdue it by serving it over a bed of extra wide noodles, but it still bit back. My husband did not finish his meal because he could already feel the heartburn building. One thing I will say about the recipe is: I held back on adding any salt and pepper to the dish, and I was glad I did. The ranch dressing and au jus packets had more than enough salt (almost too much) and, thanks to the pepperoncini, the dish did not require any additional pepper. I will not be making this dish again.
03/23/2021
I made this exactly as the recipe was written except I used an extra cup of water and used my pressure cooker. It was excellent as written, my husband loved it, and we will be adding this recipe to our meal plans.
02/24/2021
Followed recipe exactly. I was so excited to try it based on how easy it was and liking all of the ingredients. Did not like it at all!! The vinegar flavor was overwhelming, and I love vinegar- reminded me of drinking apple cider vinegar straight. I will not be making this again. I hate to leave a negative review but felt compelled to give a heads up since this takes so long to make and doesn't leave much room to pull together a replacement dinner very easily if you have guests.
03/22/2021
Excellent, I prepare this Beef roas all the time on Sundays.
03/19/2021
The adults in the house love this recipe. I use sliced peppers, not whole, and add a can of beef broth at the start of cooking. Some recipes call for a stick of butter, and I tried that once but it was too rich for me. Once the roast is finished cooking I shred the beef and mix it back in with the peppers and gravy. It is perfect served on crusty rolls for sandwiches.
04/13/2021
The flavor was unique and great, all my dinner guests enjoyed the dish. But I pressure cooked it and the next time I will slow cook it, so it winds up stringy and tender.
03/21/2021
This is a great recipe I will definitely be making this again
03/15/2021
Used a spicier type of pepper. But the spicy part is not why I gave three stars. The reason of three stars is the pickle taste it had. Very tender meat and was cooked well. Just had the pickle taste that I did not expect. STILL RECOMMEND THE RECIPE.
03/31/2021
So simple and so amazingly good! I skipped the salt and added a bag of frozen mixed veggies the last hour of cooking. Will definitely be making again!
03/21/2021
I love this recipe...and use it all the time. However, the other day I did not have the peppers so I used a big kosher dill pickle along with a little bit of pickle juice. Loved it.
01/25/2021
Easy And A Good Recip
03/19/2021
I made this exactly as the recipe called for and it was the best roast that I ever had. You could taste all of the ingredients. Next time though I think I add a little bit more peppers or pepper juice because I like a bigger kick but for my kids this was the perfect amount. I've told everyone I know about this recipe. Once you try it you will never make it any other way again.
03/25/2021
Very tasty!
01/09/2019
I added a half packet of onion soup mix and extra pepperoncini This was so moist and delicious.
01/19/2019
My family loved this recipe. I have even tried it using different cuts of meat and it turns out great.
10/16/2019
I make this often, it is one of my husband's favorite meals. I season my chuck roast with pepper, ranch garlic seasoning, and garlic powder, then I add a little oil to a skillet and sear every side of the roast. After searing, I put in the crockpot add the au jus gravy packet, ranch dressing packet about 5-7 whole pepperoncini and then pour in some of the juice from the jar (about 1/2cup). Crockpot low for 8 hours. (Btw turn on crockpot before searing meat ) When I take it out and put on serving dish it is mostly falling apart. I then make gravy with the juice and use that to pour over the meat and mashed potatoes. Delicious! Then use the left over meat for burros.
11/22/2019
Family loved it.. added 1/4 c. Butter as included in other recipes; Served it over rice with gravey made from the liquid. It is a bit spicey with the pepperoni and I omitted the salt. Can be added later depending on your taste.
