  • Total Time: 8 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Beef and Seasoning

  • 3 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 4 whole pepperoncini
  • 4 cups low sodium beef broth
  • ¼ cup juice from jar of pepperoncini

Noodles and Finishing Touches

  • 16 ounces dried egg noodles
  • ¼ cup butter
  • Fresh minced parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sear the beef: Heat a large skillet over high heat until hot. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the chuck roast and sear on all sides until nicely browned, creating a flavorful crust.
  2. Prepare the crockpot: Transfer the seared roast to a 6-quart crockpot. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the beef. Top with whole pepperoncini, beef broth, and the juice from the pepperoncini jar.
  3. Slow cook the beef: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours (or on high for 5 hours), until the beef is fork-tender and shreds easily. Cooking time may vary depending on your crockpot.
  4. Shred and mix beef: Remove the beef from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Stir the shredded beef back into the broth in the crockpot.
  5. Add noodles and butter: Add the dried egg noodles into the crockpot and stir gently to combine with the beef and broth. Top with pats of butter distributed over the noodles.
  6. Cook noodles in crockpot: Cover and cook on high for 20-30 minutes until the noodles are tender. Check at 20 minutes to avoid overcooking, as crockpot performance may vary.
  7. Serve: Stir the noodles and beef mixture thoroughly, then serve hot, garnished with fresh minced parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Notes

  • For best results, sear the beef prior to slow cooking to develop deeper flavors and richer color.
  • If you prefer faster cooking, use the high setting on the crockpot for 5 hours instead of low for 8 hours.
  • Check noodle doneness early to prevent mushiness, as some crockpots cook hotter than others.
  • Using low sodium beef broth helps control the salt content since seasoning packets and pepperoncini add saltiness.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prepping and leftover-friendly, reheating well in the microwave or on the stovetop.
