Dinner, Main Dishes

Mississippi Pot Roast

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Happy Tuesday! I’m excited to share one of my favorite dinner recipes with you guys today. I first heard of Mississippi Pot Roast while scrolling through Pinterest. Pot Roast has never really been my cup of tea so initially I just kept scrolling. It seems like years went by but every time I got on Pinterest, I swear I would see at least one pin for Mississippi Pot Roast. It wasn’t until I later discovered my love for pepperoncinis that I decided to give this classic dish a try. I initially followed someone else’s recipe from Pinterest that was very simple and basic. It turned out great and I loved the flavor but I knew I could create my own version that would be better. Enter this recipe, which in my opinion, is the best one out there.

This flavorful dish starts with a 3-4 pound chuck roast. I love to buy the 2 pack of chuck roasts at Costco (around $25-$30). I always use 1 right away but then I freeze the other to use later for another recipe. The roast is then seared in hot oil to add flavor and then transferred to a crock pot where pepperoncini juice, buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, mayo, butter, dry ranch mix and au jus mix gets added. 8-10 hours later it’s transformed into quite possibly, the most flavorful dish you have ever had. Trust me on this one, this is a dinner recipe that you don’t want to miss. It will very quickly become a highly requested meal from your family.

Tips & Tricks

  • If you need a quick version of this recipe, you can make it in the Instant Pot instead. Cut the roast in half and sear each half in batches in hot oil inside of the Instant Pot on sauce mode, add remaining ingredients as normal and then put the lid on. Turn the valve to sealed and cook on manual high pressure for 45 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes and then manually release the remaining pressure and shred the meat as usual.
  • If you have a gluten intolerance, you can skip the flour. I believe they make gluten free versions of dry ranch mix and au jus mix as well.
  • If you have a large family or want leftovers, you will want to double this recipe. As is, it feeds my husband and I for dinner and makes enough for 3-4 leftover sandwiches. If you do double it, you will need a large crock pot and will not be able to fit a double batch in the Instant Pot.
  • The buttermilk amount is so small that if you do not already have it on hand or don’t want to have to run to the store for it, you can omit it. It just adds the slightest tang but isn’t a complete game changer if you omit it.
  • Pro-tip: The steak rolls from Walmart are surprisingly our favorite buns to serve this on. We butter them and toast them in a pan before adding the pot roast!

THREE YEARS OLD!!! I can’t believe my baby girl THREE YEARS OLD!!!

I can’t believe my baby girl is already 3. Quinney woke up today crying that she didn’t want it to be her birthday and didn’t want to turn 3. If only I could keep her 2 forever 🤣

Quinney is our sour patch girl. She is a wild child with some serious sass but she has a very sweet side too. She’s the funniest little thing and always has us laughing. Her personality is summed up perfectly in many of these videos. She beats to the tune of her own drum, that’s for sure. But we wouldn’t have it any other way! 

She loves all things girly. Dancing, babies, Barbie’s, make up, nail polish, dresses and pink. We love our big 3 year old Quinney girl 💕💕💕
Food content has slowed down, I’m not in the kit Food content has slowed down, I’m not in the kitchen creating as much as normal and it’s been really hard on me to not be producing new recipes for you guys a couple times a week but that’s just the stage of life I’m in right now…..

Growing a human, raising 2 other humans, being a wife and taking care of my family will always be my number one priority. I’m exhausted 99% of the time but I know I’ll look back on these messy days and miss them dearly so right now I’m trying to not be so hard on myself and just live in the moment and be grateful for this life I’ve been blessed with. 

I promise when I get some energy back (if ever this pregnancy 🤪) I will be back to producing a couple new recipes a week but in the meantime I hope you stick around and enjoy my life via Instagram exactly as it is ❤️❤️❤️
