Mississippi Roast Slow Cooker Recipe

Mississippi Roast slow cooker recipe. Easy throw it all in and let it cook to the most tender bites of protein you’ll love with mashed taters. Like our pepperoncini chicken recipe but with beef this time!

Slow Cooker Mississippi Roast

If you live in the South, or grew up there, this was probably a staple meal in your home. I didn’t but it was something my Grandmother made and it reminds me of her every time I make it. You may call it
pepperoncini roast too. For a quicker version, try our Mississippi roast Instant Pot recipe, but low and slow is better.

This is truly a dump and go meal. That is my favorite since we are usually pretty busy during the day and there isn’t much prep beforehand either. Even though there are peppers in it they aren’t hot. You can make it spicy though if you wanted, we prefer mild but full of flavor.

Let’s talk a little bit about slow cooking shall we?? First off I have a few different varieties and I love them all. Each one has an occasion to be used like….

1. This is my favorite 6 quart programmable one with a locking lid so it’s great for bringing to a potluck too.
2. I prefer not to use liners, but rather just spray olive oil inside before adding my food for easier cleanups.

Let me give you a peek of my pretty thang I bought recently. It goes with my kitchen so I can just leave it out on the countertop all the time. 😉

Slow Cooker Pulled Beef

This is a guest post and also on our list of cheap easy Crockpot recipes too since it’s under $20 for all the ingredients!! That is a win for us, and many times there are leftovers for lunch the next day. You can’t meat that.

You could follow this Crockpot frozen roast timing if you forgot to defrost it. It is better defrosted beforehand though. Surprisingly either way the timing doesn’t really change though. That was a huge eye opener for me when I figured this out.

Pepperoncini Roast

There are many different types of beef roasts. I like one without a bone because it cooks more evenly and is easier to shred once it reaches fork tender status. Use what you wish though. At the beginning you will want to spend the 5 minutes to brown the outsides. That will keep the moisture in there.

1. 1- 3 lb Chuck Roast or you could use Bottom Round Roast
2. 2 tbsp olive oil
3. salt & pepper to taste
4. 1 packet ranch dressing mix
5. Dry onion soup mix
6. 1/2 cup salted butter
7. A stick of butter (Kerrygold Garlic Herb Butter if available!)
8. 8-10 Pepperoncini peppers (I like medium heat)

You could add a bit of pepperoncini juice if you want a more intense flavor. If you wanted more veggies you could add baby carrots on top of the cut of meat.

Crockpot Mississippi Pot Roast

Using the two combinations of dry mixes will give this Mississippi pot roast recipe a lot of flavor! Peppers can be found in a few different heat levels. Choose whichever you’re comfortable with, mild works for us. The juice has just as much, actually more if you ask me, as the larger pieces inside the jar.

The combination of these simple ingredients could be used with a pork roast too for a fun twist. Either one works well on top of mashed potatoes, rice, or inside hoagie rolls served as sliders.

Crockpot Recipe with Chuck Roast

I do offer a printable recipe card below for you if you like to have it on hand. Many love storing their favorites in a box. Here is a quick step by step below explaining how it was done though. Unwrap roast and pat dry. Season all sides with salt and pepper. Heat large 12-inch skillet on high heat. Add oil to hot skillet.

• Once the skillet is nice and hot, add the roast. Using tongs, flip the meat over and brown or sear the outsides quickly. Turn and brown other side of the roast for another 3 minutes.
• Transfer meat to slow cooker. Sprinkle packets of dry ranch dressing and onion soup mixes over pot roast. Add the butter, then place peppers and juice on and around roast.

Slow Cooker Chuck Roast

Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours cooking time. Once cooked remove the Pepperoncinis, discard stems, and dice them finely before putting back into the Crockpot. Use forks to shred the roast incorporating it into the liquid. Discard fatty pieces. Serve over mashed potatoes, in sandwiches, or as a stand alone protein.

You can serve this over a nice big bowl of Ninja Foodi rice or over noodles. I mean as is is fine too with some vegetables. Your family might have their own favorite duo so just go with what works for y’all.

I have made something similar in my Instant Pot using the same chuck roast and it does come out incredibly tender. Once you have the timing down, with a bit of liquid you can mix up the flavors for tons of different meals.

That comes in handy when you’ve forgotten to defrost dinner and it’s almost the evening. Throw it in with some water or broth mixed with powdered au jus gravy mix and it’s tender fall apart in under an hour.

Now you can buy whole or sliced peppers in a jar at the store. I mean it really doesn’t matter but I kinda’ like the larger ones you see here. Then at the end they’re falling apart and you just dice ’em up! After you’ve fallen in love with this, try our Crockpot pork roast onion soup mix recipe.
