This variation really appeals to me. I'm looking forward to giving it a try on some mule deer roasts.The Mississippi Roast is an excellent deer camp crock pot. My recipe ....
4-5 lbs chuck roast well marbled
sliced onions on the bottom of the pot
Au Jus packet - sprinkle 3/4 of it on the bottom
Pepperoncino's (sliced) - take 2/3 of them from the jar and spread over bottom of the pot
Ranch dressing mix - mix the packet with 2/3 cup of mayonnaise & 2-3 tablespoons of apple cider
vinegar, spread about 2/3 of this on bottom of the pot.
Brown roast and put in pot
Cover top of roast with rest of ranch dressing, more pepperoncino's, last 1/4 of Au Jus and add 1 stick of butter
Pour some of the pepperoncino juice around side of roast.
The vinegar and pepperoncino juice add a nice bite (not hot) to the meat like hot Italian beef.
Cook on in crock pot for 7 hours. Take meat out and shred and add back in juice and any onions & pepperoncino's left from the pot. Save the rest of the juice for dipping sandwiches in. You can store in a zip lock and freeze's very well.
This is great on steak rolls with provolone or sautéed onions & pepper, and makes great meat for street tacos.
I have a mule deer roast in the crock pot right now for my first attempt at this. I used a sliced onion on the bottom with 1/2 the jar of pepperoncini, and a 1/2 packet each of Ranch, au jus and onion soup mix. Placed browned roast on top , then remaining ingredients and butter. It's been going for 4 1/2 hours and the smell is making my wife and me nuts!
