Yummy Slow Cooker Roast and Who Hash

I found a recipe on the internet and on Pinterest that I love. I make it all the time because it is easy, takes few ingredients, cooks while you are gone, and the leftovers are great for "Who Hash" (explained at the end).

The dish is called Mississippi Pot Roast.
This is how simple it is to make.

Ingredients:
3-4 lb  Chuck Roast
1/3 cup water
1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
1 packet McCormick Au Jus mix
6 Pepperoncini Peppers
6 Tbs of Butter (I use unsalted)

First, pour the water into the bottom of the slow cooker, and put the roast on top.

Empty the Ranch dressing packet on top of the Roast.

Empty the Au Jus packet on top of the dressing.

Place the butter on top of the Roast. You can leave it as a stick, or I cut it into 3 pieces.

Place the Pepperoncini peppers around the edges of the Roast.

Put on the lid.

Set on Low and cook for 8-10 hours.

Sorry, It looked so good I took a bite before I took the picture.

 I shred the beef and put it on a bun with tomatoes and cheese for a sandwich, but you can serve it on mashed potatoes, over a baked potato, rice or just alone.

What is "Who Hash"?
 When I was a kid my Mom would make a roast with potatoes and carrots. We had a very large family, so she would always make meals that you could make cheaply and in bulk. With the leftovers she would make what she called hash.  This entailed cutting the beef, carrots and potatoes into small pieces. She would throw some butter in a skillet, fry the beef, potatoes and carrots until hot through. She would take about a dozen eggs, beat them, add a little milk and then throw them in the skillet with the beef mixture. She would stir constantly until the eggs were cooked all the way through. That was her version of Hash. It is awesome for breakfast, or dinner, and for me, must be smothered in ketchup.

When I make hash with this roast, I just microwave a few potatoes in the morning and put them in the frig to cool. At dinner I just peel the skin off the potatoes, cut them up with the leftover roast and add some canned carrot. The other day I added corn from leftover corn on the cob. Add the eggs and you have hash.

 I have been making my mother`s hash for years and my whole family loves it. My husband has always called it "Who Hash" because of the movie "The Grinch that Stole Christmas". The Grinch goes into the Who`s house, and takes everything including the last can of "Who Hash". The name has stuck for over 25 years.

 "Who" would have thought?
