Posts Tagged ‘Ranch Dressing Mix’

Y’all, let me tell you about this roast!  It is now my favorite way to cook a beef roast and it will be a long time before I try a different way.  This is one of those recipes that seems to always be popping up on Pinterest, but after my co-worker loved it and after Plain Chicken loved it, I knew it had to be great. 

This is so easy and tasty and I could just go on and on!  This is the perfect Sunday supper main dish.

3 lb. pot roast (I used a chuck roast.)

1 packet Ranch dressing mix (I used Penzey’s Spices ranch dressing mix. It’s the best and no MSG!)

1 packet Au Jus mix

6 pepperoncini peppers

1 stick butter

Spray the crock of your slow cooker with non-stick spray.  Place the roast in the crock.  Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and Au Jus mix over the roast.  Place the peppers around the roast and, lastly, put the stick of butter on top.  Cook on low for 8-10 hours and try not to gobble the whole thing up in one sitting.  I dare you!!

How’s that for a long name for a quick and easy recipe that is so, so, so good?  I found this recipe over at the blog Plain Chicken and I may be addicted now. I made this to go with a pot of chili back during cooler weather and was hooked.  This is a perfect bread to go with chili or soup and would be perfect as a party food, too. 

I don’t ever need to make this when I am home alone or I would eat the whole loaf by myself with very few regrets later.  This is definitely an sharing recipe.  It’s just too good!  I will say that mine didn’t turn out quite as pretty as Plain Chicken’s did but it tasted great just the same.

1 unsliced loaf of (round is preferable) sourdough bread (I couldn’t find sourdough at my grocery so I used Hawaiian bread and it gave it a great sweet kick.)
8-12 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
3 oz. bag Oscar Mayer Real Bacon bits (I didn’t have bacon bits, so I just cooked about 4 slices of bacon and crumbled it.)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 Tbsp. Ranch dressing mix

Using a sharp bread knife cut the bread going both directions. Do not cut through the bottom crust. Place the shredded cheese in between cuts. Sprinkle bacon bits on bread, making sure to get in between cuts. Mix together butter and Ranch dressing mix. Pour over bread. Wrap in foil the entire loaf in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Unwrap. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
