Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 lb chuck roast
- 1 oz au jus gravy mix
- 1 oz ranch dressing mix
- 5-7 peperoncini peppers with juice
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
For Serving
- 12 slider buns
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the roast: Place the 3 lb chuck roast into your slow cooker and evenly sprinkle the 1 oz au jus gravy mix and 1 oz ranch dressing mix over the top to season the meat thoroughly.
- Add peppers and broth: Add 5-7 peperoncini peppers along with their juice for a tangy kick, then pour in 1 cup of low-sodium beef broth to keep the roast moist while cooking.
- Slow cook the meat: Cover the slow cooker and cook the roast on low heat for 8 hours until the meat is very tender and easily shredded.
- Shred the beef: Using two forks directly inside the slow cooker, shred the cooked beef into bite-sized pieces, mixing it with the flavorful juices.
- Assemble sliders: Place shredded beef evenly onto 12 slider buns, then top each with a half slice of provolone cheese (1/2 slice per slider).
- Melt the cheese: Arrange the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and broil them in the oven just until the provolone cheese melts and gets bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Serve the hot sliders immediately and enjoy the savory, juicy pot roast in a convenient slider form perfect for any occasion.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker; ensure the roast is tender enough to shred easily.
- You can adjust the number of peperoncini peppers to control the level of tang and spice.
- For a low-sodium option, use reduced-sodium mixes and broth or substitute with homemade seasoning.
- If you prefer, add butter to the slow cooker for added richness before cooking.
- Leftover shredded beef pairs well with mashed potatoes or as a filling for tacos.
- Use fresh slider buns or lightly toasted ones for added texture.
