Mississippi Roast

1 chuck roast (I use about 2 to 4 lb).
1 pkg of Ranch dressing mix
1 pkg of Au Jus mix
5 pepperocini peppers
1 stick of butter

Put roast in crockpot. 

Coat with Ranch dressing mix.
Sprinkle Au Jus mix over dressing mix.
Lay stick of butter on top of the roast.
Place peppers around the stick of butter on top of the roast

 

Do Not Add Water.  Cook on low for 7 to 8 hours.

 

***I don’t know the history of this roast; why or how it gained the honor of bearing the name Mississippi. Maybe, the mere fact that it contains butter, a whole stick at that, unlike any other roast I’ve tried or seen recipes for. Regardless, the flavor of this roast represents Mississippi well.
