This Mississippi Pot Roast Crock Pot Recipe is a flavorful and easy slow-cooked comfort meal featuring a tender chuck roast infused with ranch dressing mix, beef gravy, butter, and tangy pepperoncini peppers. Perfect for a hands-off dinner served alongside mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.

Ingredients

Meat

  • 1 (3-4 pounds) chuck roast

Seasonings and Flavorings

  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 1 packet beef gravy mix
  • 4-5 pepperoncini peppers

Dairy

  • 4 oz. butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the roast: Place the chuck roast in the crock pot. Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and beef gravy mix evenly over the meat to ensure the flavors penetrate during slow cooking.
  2. Add butter and peppers: Dot the top of the roast with pads of butter, then arrange the pepperoncini peppers over the butter to add a slight tangy heat and moisture during cooking.
  3. Cook low and slow: Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 8 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender and shreddable.
  4. Serve: Once cooked, serve the tender Mississippi pot roast hot with your choice of mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice for a hearty, comforting meal.

Notes

  • For best results, choose a chuck roast with some marbling for tenderness and flavor.
  • Use the pepperoncini peppers and some of their juice for extra flavor and moisture.
  • If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can remove the roast after cooking and thicken the liquid on the stovetop.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for 2-3 months.
