I find that mixing the seasoning in with meat rather than just sprinkling them on top of the burger patties really adds the most flavor.

This is a recipe I’ve seen on Pinterest that uses a beef roast, and I figured I would give it a try with some of our elk meat.

Ingredients

–elk round steaks 3 lbs OR elk roast

-1 1/2 packets of ranch seasoning

-1 package dry onion soup mix

-1/2 jar of pepperoncinis or sweet wax peppers

-3 Tb of olive oil

-1 stick of butter

Directions:

Step 1: heat olive oil in a pan and sear your steaks or roast for about 4 minutes on each side until brown

Step 2: place roast inside crockpot and pour ranch seasoning and soup mix over roast

Step 3: add 8-10 peppers into pot( I also poured a few tablespoons of juice into crock pot as well for extra flavor).

Step 4: take the stick of butter and cut into slices and place into pot as well. Cover and cook for 6 hours on low. If doing roast cook for 8 hours

Step 5: shred meat and place back in pot with juices. Enjoy!

**Tip: I chose to make mashed potatoes and place the meat on top
