- Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. This simple step helps with browning if you choose to sear it (though it's not essential for this crockpot method, it adds extra depth of flavor).1 (3-4 pound) Boneless Beef Chuck Roast
- Place the dried chuck roast in the bottom of your slow cooker insert. Evenly sprinkle the dry ranch seasoning mix and the dry onion soup mix over the top of the roast, ensuring it's well-coated.1 (3-4 pound) Boneless Beef Chuck Roast, 1 packet (1 ounce) Dry Ranch Seasoning Mix, 1 packet (1 ounce) Dry Onion Soup Mix
- Arrange the pats of butter evenly over the seasoned roast. The butter will melt down, contributing to the rich sauce.1/2 cup Butter, 1 (3-4 pound) Boneless Beef Chuck Roast
- Pour the 1/2 cup of water or beef broth around the sides of the roast in the slow cooker. This liquid will help create steam and build the base for your flavorful gravy.1/2 cup Water or Beef Broth, 1 (3-4 pound) Boneless Beef Chuck Roast
- If you're adding potatoes and carrots, arrange them around the roast in the slow cooker. Ensure they are large enough to withstand the long cooking time without becoming mushy.1 (3-4 pound) Boneless Beef Chuck Roast
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours, or on HIGH for 4-6 hours. The cooking time will depend on your slow cooker and the size of your roast. The roast is done when it is fork-tender and easily shreds.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the beef into bite-sized pieces.1 (3-4 pound) Boneless Beef Chuck Roast
- Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker with the cooking juices. Stir to coat the beef in the delicious gravy. Serve the Ultimate Crockpot Mississippi Pot Roast hot, spooning it over mashed potatoes, rice, or with crusty bread. If you added vegetables, serve them alongside the beef.1 (3-4 pound) Boneless Beef Chuck Roast
