Mississippi Pot Roast - only 5 ingredients!! This is seriously THE BEST pot roast I've ever eaten! SO good and SO easy to make! Pot roast, ranch, Au Jus mix, pepperoncini peppers, and butter. Serve over grits, noodles or potatoes. Everyone raves about this pot roast! Freeze leftovers for a quick meal later.
In a 6-quart slow cooker, add all ingredients and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Notes:
Can add more pepperoncini peppers. I like to add some of the juice from the jar.
Can substitute banana peppers for pepperoncini peppers. Banana peppers are mild, sweet, and tangy.
Is Mississippi Pot Roast spicy? No. Pepperoncini peppers are very mild and slightly sweet peppers.
