Let the slow cooker do all the work for dinner with this Low FODMAP Mississippi Pot Roast recipe. The beef roast becomes tender and easily shreds into a flavorful beef meal. Flavored with pepperoncini peppers, ranch and steak seasonings, and butter - this isn’t your Grandma’s pot roast.

The pickled pepperoncinis and the briny liquid add a great flavor and complement the steak and ranch seasoning. The cold butter slowly melts and bastes the meat while it cooks in the crock pot. It is a great way to make sure the roast doesn’t dry out while it cooks all day.

FAQs
Prep the roast the night before you want to cook it. Then in the morning, put your slow cooker liner in your slow cooker and turn it on low. You will come home to a great-smelling house and supper ready!
If your roast is tough and difficult to shred it needs to cook longer. Roast cooked in a slow cooker should be super tender and juicy.
