    🔪 How To Make Mississippi Pot Roast

    I really don't think there's a roast out there that is easier to make than this! All you need is your slow cooker! Of course, a cutting board and knife will be helpful for serving.

    This recipe is for 8 servings so you can easily serve the whole family (and have some tasty leftovers!)

    1. Season. Place a 3-4 pound chuck roast into your crockpot and sprinkle 1 ranch dressing mix packet and 1 au jus gravy mix packet over the top.
    2. Add. Set 4 pepperoncini peppers and ¼ cup of butter on top of the seasoned roast.
    3. Cook. Cook on low for 8 hours then serve immediately.

    Serve your Mississippi with a side of yellow mashed potatoes and honey-glazed carrots! Add some butter herb Rhodes rolls, too, if you like! Enjoy!

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • There's no need to add any broth or water to your slow cooker as the meat will create enough liquid as it cooks!
    • When there is only about an hour or two left of cooking time, feel free to add in some baby carrots and quartered russet potatoes!
    • Make sure to save some of the drippings to make some delicious pot roast gravy!

    🥡 Storing & Reheating

    Make sure to let your pot roast cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container for storage. You can tightly wrap it in some aluminum foil or place it into a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    Reheating Pot Roast

    Add your leftover pot roast to a baking dish with a splash of broth and tightly cover it with aluminum foil. Then pop it in the oven at 325°F (160°C) until heated through.

    ❓ FAQ

    What's The Difference Between Mississippi Pot Roast And Regular Pot Roast?

    Mississippi pot roast has a flavor that is more tangy and zesty than your traditional roast. This is due to the addition of au jus seasoning, ranch seasoning, and pepperoncini peppers!

    Why Is My Mississippi Pot Roast Not Tender?

    If your meat is not tender then it simply has not been cooked long enough! In a slow cooker, your roast needs to cook for 8-10 hours on low heat, or 6-7 hours on high.

    Do I Need To Add Liquid To Cook My Mississippi Pot Roast?

    Nope! The butter will melt down in addition to the juices from the meat. You don't need to add any extra liquid, trust me!
