This pot roast has been all over Pinterest. I decided to give it a try, and, let me tell you, it is GREAT! It is also SUPER easy to make. Throw the roast in the crock pot, sprinkle with Au Jus mix, Ranch mix, add a stick of butter and some pepperoncini peppers. That is it. This roast has no liquid added to it. Don't worry, I promise it turns out great. It actually makes a ton of its on gravy as it cooks. We served this over some parmesan risotto, and we both wanted to lick out plates. We had the leftovers the next night and this was as good (probably better). I don't know why it is called "Mississippi Pot Roast", but who cares? It was delicious!

This sounds delicious! How spicy is it? My daughter is not a fan of "hot" food. It may be something I need to make when she's at her grandparents.
I've made this before, and it is now my absolute favorite way to make a roast! I used a chuck roast because that was what the original recipe I saw called for. It is not at all spicy. Oh, also, I am not a big fan of Ranch, so one time I just used two packets of the Au Jus mix, and another time I used one Au Jus and one Pot Roast Seasoning mix - both turned out great.
If I just have a frozen roast; do think that it would still work?
Walkerfam00 - it has zero spice. Just the flavor from the peppers.
strandy542 - you will just need to cook it a little longer if you are using a frozen roast.
You know this title got my attention being I'm from Mississippi.
Bet this would be great served over grits!
This is actually my all time fav roast recipe! It doesn't disappoint. Yum!!
Where do you find blade roast in Birmingham?
Mugaroo - I got the blade roast at Publix - it says Blade Roast (Pot Roast) on the label. That is why I picked it - I never know what roast to pick!
What are pepperoncini peppers ? If I can not find them, can I use another kind...?..can't have hot or spicy as hubby doesn't care for that. This sounds really good and easy.
Thank you,
Carol
I cook my roast about 8 hours and it falls apart, but the meat tastes dry. Can anyone tell me why the meat is dry? I have the recommended liquid on any recipe I try. Thanks
Carol - pepperoncini peppers are a sweet Italian pepper. They do not add any heat to the roast because they are put in whole. This dish is not spicy at all.
SandyK - you could be over cooking the roast or it could be the cut of meat you are using. Maybe cook it only 6 hours on low (maybe your crockpot runs hot).
Mine is in the crock pot as I type this. It's only been 3 hours and it already smells amazing! I can't wait til it's done! Thank you for all your recipes! Love every one I have tried and so does my 5yo son, who is the pickiest eater on the planet!
can you use any ranch mix as in kroger brand- or does it have to be hidden valley?
julied - you can use the Kroger brand ranch mix.
Thank you Stephanie Parker for the tip on the peppers....will be having this roast this week, as my hubby is from Miss!
Just got this roast prepped for tomorrows dinner. I like to let this sit in the fridge for 24 hours after I slice it up. Okay, I took a bite. It is a bit spicy. (My pepperoncinis exploded in the crock pot.) Not too bad. Just right. I used a cheap roast, if you can count any roast as cheap.?? Anyway, it is good and will make again.
This is delicious!!! Placed in crock pot before work-my husband was standing beside me when I was trying to get it ready for dinner that night. It smelled and tasted so delicious. We had Fazoli's for dinner the next night-all my husband could talk about was this roast that he had the night before! Thank you
Are the pepperoncini peppers fresh or pickled from a jar? Thanks so much.
Lyz - they are in a jar.
Stephanie, did you brown your roast before placing it in the crock pot?
Beverly - I didn't brown the roast.
Do you mix the two packets with the butter and pour over the roast?
Unknown - sprinkle each packet over the roast and just place the stick of butter on top of the roast. It will melt as the roast cooks.

Thanks!! Not sure why it says unknown. My name is Leslie. I love your site!! I have pinned tons of your recipes!!! ;)
I'm making this tomorrow night for my card group. Have been looking forward to this ever since you posted the recipe! ��
Made this today and I cannot tell you how good my house smells. I sneaked a couple of bites and soooo good. Come on, dinner time.
It was DEEEEElicious! Not spicy in the slightest...just great flavor. I used a rump roast.
do u put water in it? where does juice come from?
Emma - no water. The juices come from the butter and the roast itself. Enjoy!
Mine has been in since 11 this morning. It's a little smaller than 2lb because we don't need that much. I couldn't find whole peppercinis in a jar so I just used sliced ones that I found. It smells amazing, and my fiance and roommate have been sneaking pieces of pepper for awhile now, and I may have to replenish them..lol. The peppers do taste fantastic though. Just by the smell of this roast and the taste of the peppers I know I'll be making this again!
I would like to try to make this recipe this weekend. Any other side recommendations?
Lisa - you could make mashed potatoes or white rice to go with it. It is really good. Hope you enjoy it!
this sounds delicious, but I'm worried that between the soup mix and the ranch mix it will be too salty? Anyone notice if it was?
Cathy - I didn't notice it being too salty. There is a lot of meat, so I think the seasonings weren't overwhelming. You can cut the Ranch in half if you are worried about the salt.
I only have a 4 qt slow cooker. Would you recommend I adjust the cooking time or use a smaller roast?
Erin - I would leave everything the same. The roast didn't fill up my crockpot when I made it. So I think you will be fine.
Had this for dinner and it was delicious! Best pot roast I've ever made and I've made a lot! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
I can't wait to try this!!! I'm also drooling over the parmesan risotto...do you have a recipe for that?!
Here are three risotto recipes:

Would it hurt the recipe if I left out the pepperocini I just don't have them on hand and would prefer to not go to the storeand buy some as no one in my house likes them could we maybe substitute them with something else maybe pickles or green olives anyone tried something else please let me know thanks
Nicole - I think it would be fine without the peppers. Enjoy!
I tried this today, and it looks and smells wonderful while cooking. However, it was just too salty for my taste. If I try it again, I may cut back to using a half packet of the ranch and au jus.
