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

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!

    Love this recipe so much! Not only did my son request it for his birthday this year, but last night he told me it’s his new favorite dinner. Score! It’s chilly here in Denver with “freezing drizzle” in this morning’s forecast, but I already started Mississippi Pot Roast in the Crock Pot so life is good. Thanks for this gem.

  3. I make this as written but add a packet of onion soup mix and add the whole jar of peperoncini. The onion soup adds more depth to the roast.
