Tender beef chuck roast seasoned to perfection, and slow cooked for 8 hours.
Over the past couple years I’ve shared a few pot toast recipes. Some of the pot roast recipes that I’ve shared have been made in the oven, some in the slow cooker. Since most of you have been asking for more slow cooker recipes, I decided to make & share my Best Mississippi Pot Roast recipe made in the Crock-Pot.
This Mississippi pot roast is simply beef chuck roast seasoned with ranch seasoning, ground cumin, and brown gravy mix – although some people use au jus seasoning instead of the gravy mix. The meat is slow cooked in the slow cooker for 8 hours along with some butter, onions, and pepperoncini peppers.
I also like to cook vegetable with my Mississippi pot roast. I toss in carrots, onions, celery, oh- and lot’s of freshly minced garlic!
This recipe is simply the best Mississippi Pot Roast EVER… My family always goes back for seconds, and yours will too!

Best Mississippi Pot Roast
Ingredients
- 2.5 - 3 lbs chuck roast

- 1 envelope of ranch seasoning
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 5 tbsp butter I used unsalted
- 2 tbsp olive or vegetable oil

- 5 cloves fresh garlic minced
- 3 stalks of celery chopped
- 8-10 pepperoncini peppers
- 12 oz baby carrots or chopped carrots

Instructions
- Let's start of by seasoning the meat - Sprinkle half of ranch seasoning on each side of the roast, along with the ground cumin.
- Next drizzle the olive or vegetable oil into a large pan, and place it over medium high heat.
- Once the oil is nice & hot, put the roast in the pan.
- Sear each side of the roast until golden, then remove from the pan, and set aside.
- Now toss in the vegetables, and cook for 5 minutes. Then set aside.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, then adjust the heat from medium high, to high. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat.
- Spray a slow cooker with nonstick spray then toss in the vegetables, and garlic. Also pour in the broth.
- Next add in the roast, and sprinkle in the remaining ranch seasoning & the gravy mix.
- Place the butter on top of the roast, then add in the pepperoncini peppers.
- Set the slow cooker on high, and let cook for 8 hours.
- Break up the roast ( should be falling apart).

November 5, 2017 at 4:21 pmHi Rosie, I made the Mississippi pot roast and it was delicious. Would you happen to know the ratio portion if I was to double it. Can I double this recipe in the crackpot. Thank you
Quiana says
November 5, 2017 at 4:22 pmTypo Crockpot!
Rosie says
November 5, 2017 at 7:50 pmYou would have to double all the ingredients.

November 12, 2017 at 3:39 pmHey Rosie!
I’ve been following you for years! It all started with your peach cobbler video!
I’ll be making this for about 10 people, should I make more than one roast?
Rosie says
November 12, 2017 at 3:46 pmHi Isreal! Thanks for sticking with me for so long! You may want to double or even triple this recipe 😀
Israel says
November 13, 2017 at 8:53 amThank you!! Last question (lol), if I️ double it would all of that fit in one crock pot?
Rosie says
November 13, 2017 at 10:42 amIt should, if you’re using a 6 qt 🙂
Shannon says
November 12, 2017 at 8:36 pmHi Rosie I just discovered your site for the first time and would love to try this recipe. can I substitute the pepperoncini peppers with something else?
Rosie says
November 12, 2017 at 8:41 pmHi Shannon! Welcome to my blog. Sure you can use bell peppers if you’d like.
Jess says
November 13, 2017 at 4:55 pmYUMMY, I made the Mississippi Pot Roast and it was delicious! I bought another cut of beef that was on sale, and it was sooo good. My ate 1st, 2nds and took it to lunch the next day. Definitely a keeper!

Patti says
January 19, 2018 at 2:21 pmYour recipe calls for cooking the roast on high for eight hours, whereas, all other Mississippi Roast recipes call for a low temp for eight hours.; I’m totally cornfused; should it be cook on the high setting for eight hours or the low setting for eight hours. Thank you in advance.
Patti says
January 19, 2018 at 3:54 pmRosie, my family just finished the best pot roast ever, and I want you to know I used your recipe; although, I used low temp for eight hours. Plus, I should tell you that I only came across your site/recipe after searching for MIssissippi Roast recipes that contained garlic (we are Italian and use garlic when cooking all meats). I’m so glad you used garlic in your recipe or else I would never have found yours! Thank you!
The best!
Rosie says
January 19, 2018 at 7:59 pmHi Patti!! I’m glad that you found me!
Rosie says
January 20, 2018 at 4:04 pmIt depends on who’s recipe you’re using. Whichever you decide to use, follow those written directions 😉

March 6, 2018 at 6:21 pmRosie, Rosie, Rosie! Thank you, so much, for your recipe.
I used a 10 pound pork shoulder (because that’s what I had to work with) and roasted it in the oven (preheated at 425 degrees, then, after I put the pan of food in the oven, I turned the setting down to 225 degrees). Other than the type of meat, I followed the recipe word-for word.
I slow roasted (or is it braised since there was so much yummy liquid?) everything for about 8 hours. The gravy formed from the ingredients was incredibly good on mashed potatoes.
The roast was so tender, so moist, so wonderfully delicious! I’m still eating it on the third day, shredded and used in soft tacos, and it is still as juicy and tasty as day one – if not better.
This recipe is a keeper!
Rosie says
March 6, 2018 at 9:41 pmHi Yolanda! Thanks for trying!

Erika F. says
January 28, 2019 at 4:04 pmFirst of all, I love all your recipes. Especially the crockpot ones. I tried cooking pot roast for the first time using this recipe and it is amazing! I’m so impressed and satisfied with how it turned out. I added salt and I did not add the peppers and will probably only use 1 onion next time bc my boyfriend doesn’t care for them (but I love them). Keep the recipes coming!
