Best Mississippi Pot Roast

10/26/17

Tender beef chuck roast seasoned to perfection, and slow cooked for 8 hours. Classic Mississippi Pot Roast style.

Tender pot roast is slow cooked for hours for a hearty, filling dinner

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.

The savory pot roast broth gives the meat so much flavor in this slow cooked dish

Tender and juicy Mississippi Pot Roast slow cooked for 8 hours.

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.

Serve this Mississippi Pot Roast over a bed of mashed potatoes with veggies

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!

Ingredients

  • 2.5 - 3 lbs chuck roast
  • 1 envelope of brown gravy mix
  • 1 envelope of ranch seasoning
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 5 tbsp butter I used unsalted
  • 2 tbsp olive or vegetable oil
  • 2 medium sized yellow onion sliced
  • 5 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 3 stalks of celery chopped
  • 8-10 pepperoncini peppers
  • 12 oz baby carrots or chopped carrots
  • 3 cups beef broth

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).
  • Serve & enjoy over mashed potatoes or rice!

        Cooking right now! This is the second time I made this recipe. I actually tripled the recipe, everything except the broth and the peppers. If I tripled the broth the roast would boil so I use 1 carton. It’s in an 8 quart crockpot and turns out divine! Last time I made it there was not one scrap of meat left. Thanks Rosie for your awesome recipes!!

    Your 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.

      Rosie, 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, 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!

    First 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!

    I cooked this in the slow cooker overnight and awoke to a glorious aroma in my house this morning. This roasts smells and tastes wonderful! Great flavor and super tender. I’ve cooked roasts many times before but could never get it this tender before. Another great recipe Rosie, keep’em coming!
