If you’re looking for a mouthwatering dish that practically melts in your mouth, then Mississippi Pot Roast is your ticket to culinary bliss. This slow-cooked wonder is a perfect blend of tangy, savory, and tender flavors that will have your taste buds dancing. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the steps to create the best Mississippi Pot Roast right in your crock pot or slow cooker.

Ingredients:

1 (3-4 pound) chuck roast
1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
1 packet (1 ounce) au jus gravy mix
½ cup unsalted butter
5-6 pepperoncini peppers
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the Chuck Roast: Start by patting the chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season it generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
Sear the Roast: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chuck roast and sear it for 3-4 minutes on each side until it develops a nice crust. This step helps to lock in the flavors.
Transfer to Slow Cooker: Place the seared chuck roast in the slow cooker or crock pot.
Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and au jus gravy mix over the chuck roast. Place the unsalted butter on top of the roast. Scatter the pepperoncini peppers around the roast.
Cook Low and Slow: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the roast on low heat for 8 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and easily shreds.
Shred and Serve: Once the roast is done cooking, use two forks to shred the meat directly in the slow cooker. Mix the shredded meat with the flavorful juices and seasonings. Or you can slice the roast and cover it with the gravy.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the shredded or sliced Mississippi Pot Roast over a bed of mashed potatoes or cooked rice for a hearty meal.
You can also pile the tender meat onto toasted buns for mouthwatering sandwiches.
Don’t forget to ladle some of the flavorful juices from the slow cooker over the meat for extra flavor.

Storage Suggestions:

Store any leftover Mississippi Pot Roast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
To freeze, portion the shredded meat into freezer-safe bags or containers, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. See How Long is Food Good for in the Fridge?
