I am not a fan of shredding meat and I love that once cooked the roast falls apart in fork tender goodness! It’s incredibly delicious and tastes absolutely amazing. It’s simple to make too. In your slow cooker place your pot roast, ranch seasoning packet, au jus packet, butter and pepperocini and then set on low! When you get back at night you have a melt in your mouth pot roast waiting!

Gluten Free Au Jus Packet

• FODMAP: For those of you who suffer from stomach ailments, you can substitute gluten free au jus packets and dairy free ranch dressing packets if needed. I couldn’t find any information on pepperocini’s being okay on the stomach so I had the pepperocini’s cook  in the slow cooker and then removed them after cooking. 

Cooking

You will want this roast to cook on low all day. DO NOT COOK THIS ROAST ON HIGH IN THE SLOW COOKER! It really needs a good 8-10 hours to cook to become tender.

FAQ:

Do I need any liquid?

Nope! It’s fine the way it is! The juices from the meat will start to break apart as it cooks making for a nice tender roast. 

What if my meat came out tough?

Most likely the cause is trying to cook the meat too quickly, or not giving the meat enough time to cook to become tender.
