Fall and winter are the perfect time for comfort foods...and pot roast is one of my favorites. Hard to beat a juicy roast that's been cooking all day in the slow cooker with carrots and potatoes.
Ingredients
2 lb wild game pot roast (I used a moose roast, but deer, elk, bear, etc. will work too!
1 packet ranch dressing mix
1 cup beef broth
1/4 cup butter, sliced
4 pepperoncini peppers
4 potatoes, quartered
1 bag baby carrots
Directions
Place roast in slow cooker and surround with potatoes and carrots. (I meant to add carrots, but totally forgot!)
Tip: use a slow cooker liner to make clean up easier!
Pour 1 cup beef broth over potatoes and carrots.
Sprinkle ranch dressing mix over roast; ok if it gets on the potatoes and carrots too!
Place pepperoncini peppers and butter on top of ranch mix.
I was skeptical of putting the pepperonchinis on the roast since I don't like them, and didn't want the roast to taste like them. Happy to say, I couldn't taste them at all!
Cook on low 6-8 hours.
NOTE: This recipe is a modified version of a Mississippi Pot Roast, due to the ingredients I had on hand, and the desire to cook potatoes with it. To make the Mississippi Pot Roast, eliminate the beef broth, potatoes and carrots and instead, sprinkle a packet of au jus mix over the roast with the ranch.
