Fall Apart Slow Cooker Roast Beef

I remember thinking, when assembling this dinner in crockpot in the morning, wow, this is so easy! Now maybe I have extra time to snuggle up with my toddler to a good storybook! In the evening, I was even more amazed that all I have to shred the beef and plate it up for dinner and prepare a side or two and bang! Dinner's all ready! And it was so delicious that my husband thought I slaved in the kitchen all day. Let it be a little secret between us, ok?

3 pound chuck roast
1 (1 ounce) packet ranch dressing mix
1 (1 ounce) packet Au Jus gravy mix
5 sliced pepperocini peppers 
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup beef broth

For gravy:
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons flour
1 1/2-2 cups drippings from slow cooker

For Roast Beef:
Place pot roast in greased slow cooker.
Top with ranch dressing mix, gravy mix, pepperocini peppers, and pats of butter.
Pour beef broth over roast.
Cook on low for 8 hours

For gravy:
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt your butter.
Stir in your flour creating a roux for your gravy.
Slowly pour in strained liquids from slow cooker while whisking.
Continue whisking over medium heat until desired consistency is reached.
Gravy will thicken over time.

Best served with Honey Glazed Carrots and warm rolls on side. 😏
