Ingredients

  • 2-3 lbs chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • ½ tbsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tbsp. onion powder
  • 1 tbsp. dried chives
  • ½ tsp. dried dill
  • 1 tsp. xanthan gum
  • salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup beef broth or, bone broth
  • ¼ cup pepperoncini juice from the jar, can sub apple cider vinegar
  • 6 pepperoncini peppers plus extra for serving if desired

Instructions

  • Pat dry the chuck roast with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place the roast in your slow cooker.
  • In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, xanthan gum, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the seasoning blend.
  • Rub the seasoning mixture thoroughly all over the chuck roast, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  • Place the pepperoncini peppers around the roast and the butter on top of the roast. Pour beef broth and ¼ cup of pepperoncini juice into the slow cooker.
  • Cook in the slow cooker on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the meat is tender and easily falls apart.
  • Once the roast is done, shred the meat using forks. Allow the shredded meat to sit in the gravy inside the crockpot for 15-20 minutes to soak up the flavors.
  • After resting, serve the Mississippi Mud Roast over cauliflower mash, and top with the au jus from the crockpot. Garnish with fresh parsley and pepperoncini.
