A super flavorful pot roast!Easy main dish everyone loves.
Ingredients
Chuck roast – You can use other cuts of meat such as sirloin tip or rump roast. You want a cut of meat that will shred after cooking. Olive oil – This is used to sear the roast before placing it in the slow cooker.Dry ranch seasoning mix and dry beef onion soup mix – These two ingredients make up this roast’s flavor profile. Instead of the beef soup mix, you can use dry brown gravy mix.Unsalted butter – The butter adds a lot of moisture and flavor. Do not substitute margarine, it’s just all oil.Pepperoncini peppers – This Mississippi pot roast recipe uses the peppers and the juice!
This is one of those quintessential dump and cook recipes. Ok, really you sear the chuck roast first, but it’s not absolutely necessary.
How to Make Crock Pot Mississippi Pot Roast
So, heat a skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper on both sides. Brown the meat for 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer the roast to the crock, sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and beef onion soup mix (or au jus gravy mix)over the roast evenly. Add the stick of butter on top of the dry mixes, then place the pepperoncini peppers on and around the roast. Do not add any other liquids. The meat and the butter will create their own juices for a rich, moist pot roast. I’ve also been known to pour a little of the pepperoncini juice in for some extra spiciness. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Once cooked use two forks to shred the meat. Do not cook this on high, cooking it too fast will result in a tough and dry piece of meat that won’t shred easily.
What to Serve it With
Serve this crock pot Mississippi pot roast with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes and roasted green beans and mushrooms. Or add potatoes and carrots with the roast before cooking. Enjoy one of the best slow cooker recipes for fork-tender pot roast!
