# What You'll Need:

01 - 3 pound chuck roast

→ Seasonings

02 - 1 ounce packet ranch dressing mix
03 - 1 ounce packet au jus gravy mix
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic salt
05 - 1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley (optional)

06 - 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, sliced

→ Breads

12 - 12 count Hawaiian slider rolls

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Place the chuck roast into a 5-6 quart slow cooker. Evenly sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and au jus gravy mix over the meat.
02 - Distribute sliced butter, sliced peperoncini peppers, and peperoncini juice over the roast. Cover tightly.
03 - Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 6 hours without removing the lid to maintain tenderness. When done, shred the meat and discard any visible fat.
04 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
05 - Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Arrange the bottom halves in the baking dish. Layer 6 slices of provolone cheese evenly on top.
06 - Evenly distribute the shredded beef over the cheese layer. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sliced peperoncini peppers.
07 - Cover the meat and peppers with the remaining 6 provolone slices, then place the top halves of the rolls over the cheese.
08 - Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl. Stir in garlic salt and parsley. Brush this mixture over the top of the rolls.
09 - Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 2-3 minutes until tops are golden and cheese is melted.
10 - Remove from oven and serve immediately.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Avoid soggy sliders by draining excess liquid from shredded meat before assembling.
