Mississippi Pot Roast

3-4 lbs boneless beef chuck roast

1 Tbs garlic powder

2 tsp dried parsley

2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp dried dill weed

1 tsp coarse salt

1/4 c beef broth

1/4 liquid from jar of pepperoncini

2 Tbs cornstarch

1 Tbs soy sauce

1 Tbs Worcestershire Sauce

1 Tbs beef bouillon paste

4 Tbs butter, cut into pieces

4-6 pepperoncini

Optional: mashed potatoes, rice, or buns

Place the roast in the insert of a 6- or 8-quart slow cooker.

In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, parsley, onion powder, dill, and salt.  Sprinkle evenly over the beef.  

In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, pepperoncini liquid, cornstarch, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and bouillon paste.  Pour over the beef.  Turn the beef once or twice to coat in seasonings and liquid.

Place the butter pieces and pepperoncini on top of beef.  Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or high for 4 to 6 hours until the beef is fall-apart tender.  Remove the pepperoncini and shred the beef with two forks, tossing the beef with the cooking liquid/gravy.  Keep warm until ready to serve.  Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or on buns.
