This delicious recipe starts with a big beef shoulder roast. Then, I add onions, pepperoncini, and a delicious broth of au jus, ranch dip mix, pepperoncini juice, and butter. After that, I just let it cook in the slow cooker for hours until the meat is falling apart, and all the flavors have melded into a rich, beefy, buttery feast that I love to serve with potatoes, rice, or pasta.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

How to Make Mississippi Pot Roast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Add onions to the bottom of a 6 or 8 quart slow cooker sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Then, add the roast. Sprinkle it with the seasoning and the au just and ranch packets. Then, add the pepperoncini and pats of butter. Finally, pour the pepperoncini juice over the entire thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Slow Cook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
Choose a roast that has plenty of marbling. That will melt as the roast cooks and make super tender meat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Add the onions to the slow cooker first so they get nice and soft.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Be sure to spray your slow cooker with nonstick spray. There isn’t a ton of liquid in this recipe, so it can stick.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
You can make this with a chuck roast, too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
For even more spiciness, try adding sliced or diced jalapenos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
You can thicken the juice after the roast is finished cooking to make a gravy for the roast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
You can use brown gravy mix in place of au jus if you prefer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
