Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast

Mississippi Pot Roast, a new southern classic, is pure comfort on a plate. Packed with a rich, hearty flavor that is slow-cooked to perfection.

I originally found this recipe a few years ago on Pinterest, but through a little research, I have found that its original author is a brilliant lady named Robin Chapman. As the story goes her aunt gave her a recipe for pot roast made with Italian dressing and she swapped it out with ranch to make it a little milder.

This is so true of recipes, we pass them along and adapt them a bit to suit our family's tastes. Well, I am so glad Ms. Chapman created this magnificent combination because it sure is a family favorite at my house.

So many people have asked me if I made a Mississippi Roast through texts, emails, and messages. They say "you just gotta get one up on the blog, please"! So here it is my friends!

I am using a little different cut of meat on this one, because I have plans to make a Debris Gravy Fry recipe with this (coming soon). Most people make this with a chuck roast and I have too. It is so amazing with that cut as well. To me, the Rump Roast just had a deeper flavor and the texture I wanted for the fries.

I am so glad I tried it on this cut! AMAZING!! Now as you will see in the pictures below, it was a bit of a challenge keeping everything from sliding off this cut. So just don't look at that mess! Do you ever make a mess cooking like I do?? UGH!

Well, I have to say that mess didn't matter in the slow cooker because it all just blends together and cooks to perfection.

Simplicity is also what makes this one wonderful. Just a few ingredients = Easy and Flavor Galore!

What you need for Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast Beef

• 3 to 5 pound Rump or Chuck Roast
• Package of Ranch Dressing (I buy the bottle of it, we may use this way too much)
• Package of Au Jus
• 1 Stick Butter, salted
• Pepperoncinis

How to make Crock Pot Mississippi Roast Beef

Place your roast in the crockpot (slow cooker) and pour on packages of seasonings. It doesn't matter the order! Place a stick of butter on top and arrange pepperoncinis around the butter.

See what a big mess I made. It doesn't do that on a flatter chuck roast 😉

Put the lid on and cook on low all day - 8 hours!

Isn't this magnificent! All that rich beautiful flavor and you just dumped it all in the slow cooker!

Shred or slice and serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles!

A little note about those peppers! They just give this roast a little zing. I usually use about 5, but you can add more for a little more kick!

The drippings are wonderful served poured over the meat. If you would like a little thicker gravy add 2 tablespoons of corn starch to ¼ cup water and stir with a fork or whisk. Pour back into slow cooker and stir.
