Mississipi Pot Roast

It’s that time of year when nothing beats my version of the Mississippi Pot Roast!

If you’re new to making pot roast, this recipe is the perfect introduction. Traditionally, pot roasts are made with just five simple ingredients that meld together beautifully in a slow cooker. I prefer using a Dutch oven in my Breville mini oven, but a traditional slow cooker works just as well. This method not only delivers a mouthwatering meal but also makes it simple to serve the Fab Four to your family.

What’s great about this recipe is its versatility—feel free to adjust it based on the ingredients you have on hand. Plus, with only one pan required, cleanup is a breeze. Enjoy a delicious, fuss-free meal that’s as easy to make as it is to clean up!

Ingredients

  • 3lbs Chuck Roast - 1 pound serves about 2 people
  • 4-6 pepperoncinis- I get mine from Thrive Market

Directions

  1. Bring a chuck roast to room temperature - season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.
  2. Sear all sides in a dutch oven in 2 tbsp of grass-fed butter or ghee. If you like a thicker gravy, coat the chuck roast in cassava flour with the seasoning before you sear.
  3. Add 4-6 pepperoncinis and 1/2 cup of your favorite ranch dressing to the roast.
  4. Cover and slow cook on low for 6 hours.
  5. After 4 hours, add all your favorite veggies: carrot, celery, onion, potatoes of any kind and continue roasting.
  6. At the 6 hour mark, shred the chuck roast, give it a good mix, and it's ready to serve.
