mississipi pot roast

Succulent and irresistibly tasty chuck roast simmers in a crockpot with a flavorful combination of ranch dressing, au jus gravy, butter, and pepperoncini peppers. 

Mississippi Pot Roast Recipe

chuck

olive oil

sweet onions, sliced 1-inch thick

garlic,

packet ranch dressing mix

brown gravy mix

peppers

unsalted butter

beef broth

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the olive oil and sear the meat for about 5-8 minutes on both sides until browned.

Transfer the seared roast into the slow cooker and place the onion slices all around.

Sprinkle the roast with the dried ranch dressing mix and brown gravy mix.

Top the roast with slices of butter and minced garlic. Then add the pepperoncini juice and beef broth. You can choose to add the pepperoncini peppers now and sprinkle it on top or add them in during the last 1-2 hours of cooking time. I like to add them in later so they don’t get too soft.

Cover the slow cooker and then cook on LOW for 8-10 hours until the meat is tender and easily breaks apart. You may also cook on HIGH for 6-8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily breaks apart.

If you want to thicken the gravy, first separate the broth from meat and vegetables. Put the broth into a saucepan over medium heat. In a small ramekin, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Mix it together until there are no more clumps. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the gravy. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring often, until the gravy reaches desired consistency.

Once tender, shred the roast with two forks and mix it into the gravy.

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve over mashed potatoes or rice.

beef –

salt and pepper

butter

*organic* Roasted Beef Base by Better than Bouillon

6-8 pepperoncini peppers

pepperoncini juice

water

Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper on all sides.

Heat a heavy pot or dutch oven over medium high heat.

Once the butter is completely melted and sizzling, add the meat to the pot and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.

Cover the pot with a tight fitting lid and simmer on medium-low heat for 4 hours, or place in the oven at 350 degrees and cook for 4 hours, checking on it hourly. If the mixture appears dry during the cooking process, add 1/3 cup of water if necessary.

Once the roast is fork tender, remove from the heat and shred the meat into bite sized pieces &#8211; discarding any fat or gristle.

Add the meat back to the pan gravy and serve hot.

I love your recipes Melissa! And you always keep the ingredients healthy. Thanks for another outstanding meal, I appreciate all the information and recipes which I have gotten from your website in the last year. Keen ‘‘em coming!

My family loves Mississippi Pot Roast but I always cringe at the unhealthy ingredients - thanks for posting this yummy looking and guilt free alternative!!!!

This looks amazing, can't wait to try it!

I cooked this in the Instant Pot and used boneless short ribs. I added onion and mushrooms, for a little extra flavor, and paired it with your cauli mash. It was perfectly tender and flavorful so much so that it’s going on the regular rotation! Thanks!

One of my family’s favorites! So moist and flavorful. We make it every single month and live off the leftovers.

Delicious and super easy! The flavors are so good.

One of my favorite dishes. So good and flavorful.

Haven’t tried this yet (just found it today) but it’s now on my list.

My children attend college in Jackson, Ms.  They asked around and no one knows about this pot roast recipe. I passed it on and as expected it was a rousing success. I have made it once and will make it again. Absolutely  5 stars and more.

Such a dioicous stapple in our house.  You can't go wrong with this one :)

I would definitely make this the next time I make a pot roast. Looks delcious

My family loves this one. Even my picky son. We make it a couple times a month. Thanks for the recipe!

One of my all-time favorite recipes! Leftovers are even better a day or more later. Lovelovelove this one!

This recipe is a family favorite!  The meat is tender and full of flavor.  If you have leftovers, they warm up nicely!

It's so good! Even the pickiest eaters in my house love it!

I make this at least every 2 weeks. Everyone in the house loves it and it’s customizable for all diets! Thank you!

Definitely a favorite!!! We always share with friends and family and it always gets rave reviews!!

Definitely recommend this recipe. Delicious and so easy to make.

I've made this pot roast a couple of times.  The first time was when I was following the Squeaky Clean plan, but I liked it enough to incorporate it into the regular rotation.  Excellent with the Squeaky Clean Cauliflower mash.  Easy to make, good flavor, comes out tender.  Very nice for a weekend dinner.

OMG, this recipe was so good. I love making pot roast and of course so does the hubby (well, he loves eating it) because he is a pepperoncini fan :) I also make this in my crockpot after searing in pan beforehand, then into the crockpot for cooking. 

We are actually going to make it for Thanksgiving next week because it's just us.

This was easy to make and my husband loved it!!!

A super simple recipe that hits all the YUM markers!!

This is one of my favorite go to recipes in the cold winter months.  So easy to throw together,  it cooks all day and can be served in so many ways.

Best go-to crockpot meal! Even for non “ketoers”

thanks for the recipe and all the suggestions as to what to serve with it.

This one is TASTY!!  My entire family loves this!  This is a great and easy-to-follow recipe!  Thanks!!! Deb

This was the best pot roast I have ever had in my life, and my grandma always cooked the best!  If I ever make pot roast in the future,  this will definitely be the recipe I use!  Wondeful flavor, very juicy, just awesome!  Thank you so much for sharing!

This has to be my favorite of all those recipes shown.  Great hardy meal for cold New England winter days.

Love this roast, its my favorite way to make it.

I love this recipe!  its basically a dump and go slow-cooker  recipe and it tastes like it was a lot of work.  I always make enough for several meals, but sometimes we eat  almost all of it the 1st night.  Its that good!

Easy recipe with delicious results. One of my favorite recipes of yours. Thanks.

We love this recipe and it is so easy! We make it a lot and never get tired of it.

Absolutely one of my favorite go to’s, especially with the dairy-free ranch seasoning option. 
A great recipe for busy morning since you can dump in the slow cooker and go, or for a regular night in the instant pot.

My family loves this pot roast! It is so very good!

I can't wait to try the Mississippi pot roast.  It's new to me and I love trying new recipes.  Especially ones that look like they will be very tasty and filling.

My husband loves this!!! I make it a couple of times a month. Nice and easy recipe!

Cold in New England tonight.  This would really hit the spot.

Mississippi Roast is my favorite!!! I add carrots and radishes, along with a few potatoes for the hubs!

Always a hit and super easy to put together! Great for busy school/work days

Love this recipe for my go to roast beef dish!

One of my favorite things about your recipes is that you take great recipes and make them Keto-friendly. I can’t wait to try this! Thank you!

One of my favorite go to recipes! Everybody love it!

Made this several times. We eat it with small low carb tortillas or with cauliflower mash. So good!

Love this recipe. Extremely versatile and flexible. The best part of this recipe is the leftovers the next day!  After the spices have meld together it’s great on toasted rye bread the next day.

Live the simplistic method and the results are awesome

This is a real winner!!!  This is now the only way I cook pot roast for my family.  So simple and always tasty.  I make in the crockpot.

Also works well with deer roast in a crock pot.  Takes away any gamey flavor &amp; crock pot for 6-8 hrs really tenderizes the meat which is very lean compared to beef roast so takes a bit more time.  I get requests for this from my kids all the time.  It's a family favorite.

I've made this several times in my slow cooker.  This recipe is absolutely delicious.  It's a family favorite.  Thank you for sharing.
