What Is Mississippi Pot Roast?

Mississippi pot roast is pot roast flavored with dressing mix and cooked in the slow cooker. This method results in a wonderfully tender and juicy pot roast that's shockingly easy to make.

Mississippi Pot Roast Ingredients

These are the ingredients you'll need to make this top-rated Mississippi pot roast recipe:

· Chuck roast: This Mississippi pot roast starts with one 3-pound chuck roast. If your roast is larger or smaller, adjust the recipe.· Pepperoncini: You'll use both the juice and the peppers from a pepperoncini jar.· Butter: A stick of butter locks in moisture and keeps the roast from drying out.· Packaged mixes: Use one packet of au jus gravy mix and one packet of buttermilk ranch dressing mix.· Seasonings: Simply season the roast with salt and pepper.

How to Make Mississippi Pot Roast

You'll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here's a brief overview of what you can expect when you make Mississippi pot roast:

Simply combine all the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on Low until the meat is fork-tender. That's it!

How to Serve Mississippi Pot Roast

Serve your Mississippi pot roast with gravy and mashed potatoes for a wonderfully satisfying meal. Of course, crusty bread to soak up the gravy is never a bad idea.

How to Store Mississippi Pot Roast

Allow the leftover roast to cool, then wrap it tightly in foil or place it in an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can freeze the leftovers for up to two months.

Cookdap Community Tips and Praise

“Absolutely flavorful,” raves Susan Komorowski. “Served on toasted ciabatta rolls with havarti cheese! Amazing! Love this recipe!”

"We love it," says one Cookdap community member. "I have made it several times and it's the most tender and flavorful roast I believe I have ever had!"

"I made it just as the recipe stated but added a little red wine," according to another Cookdap community member. "We had it the first night with mashed potatoes and it was fabulous. The next day we had the leftovers on toasted steak rolls a la Italian beef sandwiches."

  • 1 (3 pound) chuck roast
  • ½ (12 ounce) jar pepperoncini
  • ½ (12 ounce) jar pepperoncini juice
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet au jus gravy mix

    My husband and I think it’s one of the best roasts I’ve ever made. Served it over mashed potatoes. Can’t wait to make it again.

    I made this with the exception of adding potatoes to the crock pot. I thought it was a welcome change from my normal crock pot roast. I also thought the peppers were a nice addition to the roast. I will make it again.

    I make mine very similar except put potatoes and baby carrots on the bottom, then the roast, then sprinkle on the ranch and au jus, finally add the peppers and juice. My only real change is to lay a stick of unsalted butter on top. I very seldom eat any meat and even I think this is super delicious.

    This roast is perfect! We make this often , it’s great over mashed potatoes or wild rice. I have also had it on a crusty roll with a slice of provolone and put under the broiler! My sister has made this with chicken and it was also delicious.

    Don?t put it in the crock pot without browning it on all sides first. If you don?t itll get tough while cooking

    We love this and make it often. I usually use a brown gravy mix instead of au jou to save $ and i usually throw in some italian dressing (about 1/3 cup) instead of butter that most of the recipes call for. Serve over mashed potatoes or wide egg noodles.

    This looks delicious. Looking forward to trying it. I think I will sear the outside of the roast before putting it in the crockpot. I always find beef gets way to dry when cooked in a crockpot

    This is one pot recipe I’ve used many times. Recently I did a small group taste test with Mississippi Pot Roast and another well known and loved pot roast. When they were side by side the Mississippi Pot Roast was the clear winner.

    I do recommend searing the Roast prior to the crockpot cooking.

    This was amazing. My husband is not a big fan of pot roast but he said he would happily eat this again. I followed the recipe as written but I added potatoes, carrots, and onions since that’s how I traditionally make my roasts.

    I make this often/sometimes with variations. I’ve used dry Italian dressing instead of ranch, lots of chopped fresh garlic too. We love it on toasted buns w/provolone cheese, saut?ed onions and mushrooms. My family loves this. It shreds perfectly for sandwiches.

    Delicious and I didn’t even use the au jus mix. I browned mine first and I think that helped develop the flavor. This is a keeper… and add extra peppers.. they’re mild and impart a great flavor and they mellow out during the cooking. I also added about 1/2 stick of butter.. it makes for a great sauce! I used sliced pepperocini..like 95% of the jar! Next time, I’ll add the whole jar of sliced, the ranch packet, and maybe a cup of chicken or beef broth. I did not add salt and the flavor was perfect… Please make this, you’ll be happy you did… even if you don’t like ranch, like me!! It tastes nothing like ranch dressing when it’s done. The recipe is very forgiving.. just do not add carrots because they’ll come out pickled! And they take away some of the flavor from the meat..

    This is a great roast! The recipe I used originally left out the peppercini juice (which I will add next time), but called for a half stick of butter (which keeps the meat super moist).
    We use this for shredded beef tacos… YUM!

    I did not sear first. Used 5 Pepperoni, more if small and used regular ‘Ranch Dressing/Hidden Valley’. Made it many many times. Always successful! No Compaints! Use side dishes of green beans and potatoes or put it in tortilla. No fail with this one.

    I made this tonight, and it was incredible. The roast was tender beyond comparison. The mixture of au jus, ranch, and pepperocinni gave it a deep flavor that ends with a little kick.

    I made it a 2nd time and added a hack… After the beef was done I shredded it into a casserole dish, added in some of the Au Jus gravy, threw a bag of mixed veggies on top, then topped it all off with mashed potatoes and twice baked it on 350 for 30 minutes and it was even more perfect.

    I thought this was very very good and easy to prepare. I did not have 3 pounds of chuck roast so I used the 1.5 pound chuck I had and a 1.5 pound top roast. I’ll make again using a 3 pound chuck to see if it makes a difference. I rated it at 4.5 stars, but could not split the 5th star.

    This was delicious! I used a 3lb chuck roast, followed recipes except for adding a 1/2 stick butter to the top of the roast, two chunked potatoes, onion and used a 16oz jar sliced peppers and the juice. Next time all the same but half of the pepper juice. Also browned the meat on all sides before putting in crock.

    Fantastic!!! My wife and I made this for Christmas dinner, with one of my sisters for company, and we all LOVED it!

    No variations to the ingredients, but several other reviewers suggested searing the roast before going to the slow cooker, so we tried that. The results were excellent, and we will definitely make this again. Some others (and another recipe) suggested adding a stick of butter; we didn?t do that, and after dinner, we all felt that it didn?t need it.

    I totally see why this recipe got a 5-star rating. this was the best roast I’ve ever made.. I followed the instructions as written however I did put a stick of butter on top of the roast at the beginning and added a corn starch slurry at the end to thicken the delicious gravy. since I did cut this over a bed of potatoes and carrots I did not make mashed potatoes with this but that would make it would be perfect. this will be my go-to recipe for all pot roast from now on ..you cannot go wrong with this recipe

    We decided to try this for our Christmas dinner, and we absolutely loved it. So did our dinner guest. The peppers are what put this roast over the top, plus the resulting good juice from the packaged ingredients. We think we’ll try this for use as Italian beef sandwiches next time.

    It was tasty. I didn’t have enough peppers, which I love. Next time I might try to change up so I don’t have to use packet ranch product, prefer not to use of I can.

    Fantastic! Already made it twice. The second time we used the shredded roast for filling tacos – awesome! We will use this recipe over and over again!

    Too peppery. Far too spicy for my family.

    Loved this easy recipe. I also added a saut?ed onion and only about 1 T of butter to the top.

    Turned out pretty good. We aren?t big beef eaters, but decided to give this a try. I added carrots and it came out go. I did cook it for an extra hour as the beef didn?t seem tender enough to my liking after the recommended 8 hours.

    One of the best roasts I have had, love the spice and flavor, a little too salty, so I won’t add salt, just pepper

    Added potatoes, worked great in there, next time I’ll add in some green beans as well

    I seared the roast first, and added half a stick of butter per other reviews. Did not add any extra salt. Delicious! Used the juices to make a gravy; plenty salty but tasty. Beef was very tender and I served it with mashed potatoes. Will make again.

    Made this yesterday – followed recipe with exception of adding a few pats of butter to the top of roast. Very tasty, husband and teenager approved! The meat was a little tough but I may have let it stay in crockpot too long, or the cut of meat wasn’t the best. I did baste it a couple times during cooking. Will make again!

    This recipe is so good! My family really likes it.
    I use about 1/2 to 3/4 of the package of Au Jus to cut down on some of the salt and left out the salt that the recipe calls for.
    Yummy! I don’t like crockpot roast but this was excellent!

    Agree with the butter reco and even as I like salt you can go easy on it as the packets and pepperoncinis have plenty of it included. Also you want sliced pepperoncinis. Recipe didn’t seem to specify that.

    I would omit the added salt and use the whole jar of pepperoncinis and juice, but overall, this was pretty good.

    I was so disappointed in this recipe, but it’s probably just me. I don’t use salt due to blood pressure issues. I left out the salt, but didn’t take into account the salt in the au jus & buttermilk ranch packets. It was so salty I couldn’t eat it. I even tried the old trick of putting some raw potatoes in it to take out the salt. I hate to waste food, especaily meat, but this went into the garbage. Sorry…but this is the first recipe I can say I will not make again until I figure out a way to delete all the salt/sodium somehow.

    This is similar to the filling for a Chicago beef sandwich. I made it exactly as directed, and my family loved it

    Very good recipe. Great flavor and super simple. I did find it a bit salty, but I don?t know how you avoid that using the ranch dressing and au jus packets. I added carrots and did brown the meat as suggested by another reviewer. Next time I may try adding half of each packet and hope I don?t lose the great flavor.

    DO NOT ADD CARROTS! I added veggies as a lot of reviewers did but the carrots are horrible! They tasted pickled andwe did not care for them at all! The meat was nice and tender and may have worked but because the vegetables absorbed the pepper liquid, the meal was ruined. We ordered pizza. (I totally understand that the recipe did not ask you to add vegetables and the fault lies with me for changing it.)

    So, so, so good. I don’t own a slow cooker so I wrapped it in tin foil, topped it with a stick of butter and put it in a Dutch oven. 350 for about 4 hours. No added salt needed, as the pepperoncini are salty enough. Looking forward to making sandwiches with the leftovers!

    Like others I frequently add my own touches to recipes. Not this time. I followed the recipe almost exactly, I left out the additional salt. I also read a majority of the reviews so I was aware that several people thought this on the salty side. With this in mind I read the ingredient lists on the three au jus choices I had: McCormick’s, Lawrys and Johnny’s. The first two had salt as the first ingredient while Johnny’s had salt as the third, so I chose this. I also did NOT put in any additional salt. That said this was way too salty, and I love salt. I had to take all the juices in the crock pot, remove the grease from the rendered fat and then cut the broth with water. This helped greatly in reducing the salty taste but left the juices tasting weak. I added some red wine which added more heartiness to the broth. This saved the dinner. Not a recipe I’ll be repeating.

    I have made this recipe twice now. First time i followed instructions exactly. While good i thought it lacked a punch. This time i added a few modifications. I added half a package of onion soup, roasted garlic cloves, and chopped onions. It had that punch i was looking for… *My rating is for the recipe as is.

    Absolutely fabulous! Pleased everyone in my family of six! Not a shred remained! I did end up using the whole jar of pepperoncinis for extra zing. Everyone from 10-50 raved about it. Thank you for sharing.
