What is Mississippi Pot Roast?
Before I tell you how to make this delicious roast, you may be wondering, what is it? Why is it different?
Mississippi Roast is usually made by placing a chuck roast in a crock pot or slow cooker. You’ll cook it beneath some butter, a package of ranch dressing mix, another package of “au jus” gravy mix and a handful of pepperoncini peppers.
The result is a fork tender roast that requires very little prep time! We love serving ours on homemade Baked Mashed Potatoes.
Or get fancy and serve it to guests with this delicious Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole recipe!
