Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs beef chuck roast
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 4–6 pepperoncini peppers
- 1/4 cup butter
- 16 oz egg noodles
- Optional: garlic cloves or garlic powder
- Optional: onion powder or sliced onions
- Optional: Worcestershire sauce
- Optional: splash of pepperoncini juice or beef broth
Instructions
- Trim any large areas of visible fat from the chuck roast and lightly grease the crockpot.
- Optional: Sear the beef in a hot skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil for additional flavor.
- Place the chuck roast in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Sprinkle the ranch seasoning and au jus gravy mix evenly over the beef.
- Add the pepperoncini and place the butter on top.
- Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours or High for 4–5 hours, until the beef is tender.
- About 30–40 minutes before serving, remove the beef and shred it with two forks.
- Return the shredded beef to the crockpot and stir in the egg noodles.
- Cook until the noodles are tender. If they absorb too much liquid, add a splash of beef broth.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan.
Notes
- A well-marbled chuck roast is recommended for the most tender, flavorful beef.
- Egg noodles can be substituted with fettuccine, pappardelle, rotini, or gluten-free pasta.
- Add noodles near the end of cooking to prevent them from becoming too soft.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Add a splash of beef broth or water when reheating.
- Pepperoncini can be replaced with banana peppers or mild pickled peppers, or omitted for a milder dish.
