I always forget about Mississippi Pot Roast! I saw a relative posting it the other day and he gave me his recipe! Yum! Perfect as a pot roast but our favorite way to serve is on a toasted bun with melted mozzarella or provolone cheese. Delicious!
Super Easy Mississippi Pot Roast
The recipe blends together five distinct and rather unexpected ingredients: one packet of ranch seasoning, one packet of au jus gravy mix, Several jarred pepperoncini (I used quiet a few) a full stick of butter, and a 3- to 5-pound chuck roast. If you aren’t familiar with the pepperoncini, here’s a link: https://www.walmart.com/tp/pepperoncini. Not only are these great for this recipe, I use them with a blend of olives, pickles, tomatoes and onions for an Italian salad mix.
This recipe originally was created using the slow cooker but I used the Instant Pot. I wanted my roast really tender, so I set the time for an hour. I used a chuck roast but you can use any roast similar that’s perfect for a braise. If you don’t already have an Instant Pot, you will not regret the purchase! Here’s a link: https://amzn.to/2Z9dcbx

Let me know after you make this Mississippi Pot Roast what you think! My husband loved it! He asked for it a couple of times with the leftovers. When I make it as a sandwich, I strain some of the au jus and serve it for dipping. Yum!
