Ingredients

  • 1 package au jus
  • 1 package ranch dressing
  • 1 stick butter
  • 5 to 10 pepperoncini peppers

    3 to 5 pound rump or chuck roast

    1 package au jus, 1 package ranch dressing
  • Add Butter and Pepperoncini Peppers: Next, place a stick of butter in the center of the roast on top of the seasonings. Then, arrange 5-10 pepperoncini peppers around the butter.
    1 stick butter, 5 to 10 pepperoncini peppers
  • Cover and Cook: Cover with a lid and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours.
  • Shred & Serve: Using 2 forks, shred the roast and serve.

To Thicken Gravy

  • The drippings are delicious poured over the meat. If you would like a slightly thicker gravy, add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to 1/4 cup water and stir with a fork or whisk. Pour back into the slow cooker and stir. 

Notes

Store in Fridge: Once it’s cooled to room temperature, just transfer the roast and any leftover juices into an airtight container to keep it nice and moist. Pop it in the fridge, and it’ll be good for up to 4 days.
Reheat: When you’re ready to enjoy it again, reheat it on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave. Adding a little broth while reheating can keep it just as juicy as the first day.
Freezer: If you’re thinking long-term, Mississippi Pot Roast freezes beautifully, too. Place the shredded meat and its juices in a freezer-safe container or a heavy-duty zip-top bag, and squeeze out as much air as you can to avoid freezer burn. This way, it’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months. When you’re ready for another delicious meal, let it thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat as usual.
