How to Make a Mississippi Pot Roast 

It all goes into the slow cooker, and hours later, your home will be filled with the delightful aromas coming from this cozy meal.

Alternatively, you can use your Dutch oven or pressure cooker, though I find it’s easy to set it and forget it in the Crock Pot and let it do all the heavy lifting.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Before you get started, spray the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.

1. Add the chuck roast to the Crock Pot and sprinkle with the ranch and au jus seasoning packets.
2. Next, place the pepperoncinis on top of the meat.
3. Place the stick of butter on top.
4. Close the lid and cook on low heat for eight hours. Once the cooking time is up, shred the meat and serve.

Slow cooking always turns out tender meat and flavorful meals because the food cooks together. And this turns out a tender chuck roast with plenty of nutrition and flavor.

How to Store The Mississippi Pot Roast

If you have any leftovers you can store them in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator.
