Mississippi Pot Roast Philly-Style Sandwich layers ultra-tender, braised chuck roast with tangy pepperoncini notes and buttery richness, then melts provolone over a soft roll for a comforting, beef-forward bite. The ranch and au jus bring a savory depth, while optional cheese sauce and pickled peppers add creamy heat. Ideal for game day, casual dinners, or a hearty weekend treat.

1

Optional: to brown the beef, heat oil in a skillet, Dutch oven, or multi-functional cooker over high heat, and sear both sides of the beef until well browned, about 3 minutes per side.
2

Remove the meat to a large slow cooker.
3

Add the pepperoncini brine to the skillet and stir to loosen any browned bits; pour this into the slow cooker.
4

If you skipped browning, add the meat and pepperoncini brine to the slow cooker now.
5

Drizzle water over the meat.
6

Sprinkle the ranch dressing evenly over the top, then sprinkle the au jus gravy mix evenly over.
7

Top with the butter slices and peppers.
8

Slow cook on Low until the meat is very tender and easily pulled apart, 8 to 10 hours.
9

At this point, you can use the beef for sandwiches or for anything you like.
10

Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks.
11

For sandwiches, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
12

Slice the sandwich roll open, cover the cut side with provolone cheese slices, and place it on a baking sheet.
13

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges begin to brown, about 7 minutes.
14

Top the roll with hot, juicy shredded Mississippi pot roast, garnish with Cheez Whiz and pickled peppers, and serve.
