Ingredients

• 3 lb chuck roast
• Salt, pepper, garlic powder
• 6 TBSP of butter
• Au jus gravy packet
• Ranch seasoning packet
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 1/2 cups low sodium beef broth
• 1 sliced onion
• Pepperonchini + a little bit of the juice
• Gravy (optional) 2 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp flour, 2 cups beef broth/drippings from crockpot

Make Mississippi Roast

To make this recipe, start with about a 3 pound roast. Season it with a little bit of salt, pepper, and garlic powder (go light on the salt).

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and sear the roast on all sides.

Once the roast is seared, remove it from the skillet and place it in a large crockpot.

Turn the heat on the skillet down to low. Add the sliced onion, 1 tbsp of minced garlic, 1/2 cups of low sodium beef broth, one ranch seasoning packet, and one Au Jus packet. Stir everything together well being sure to scrape all of the brown bits off the bottom of the skillet.

Let this cook until it is bubbling and has thickened just a little bit. Pour it over the roast in the crockpot.

Add some pepperoncinis (I don’t use exact measurements for this). You can use as many as you’d like. Pour in a little bit of the juice from the jar of pepperoncinis.

Top the roast with 4 tbsp of butter sliced up into thin slices.

This will cook on low for about 8 hours.

Serve Mississippi Roast

Once the roast is tender, shred it with two forks discarding any of the extra fat. I like serving this over mashed potatoes, with rolls, and a veggie!

I love taking the beef broth/dripping from the crockpot and making it into gravy when serving it with mashed potatoes.

In a small pan, melt two tbsp of butter. Add 2 tbsp of flour and stir well. Let the flour and butter cook for a minute and add about 2 cups of the drippings. Stir well until it reaches a gravy consistency.

This Mississippi Roast also makes great sandwiches! Keep that in mind for any leftovers.

Tips and Frequently Asked Questions

• Make sure the chuck roast is completely thawed for best cooking results.
• Searing the chuck roast before adding it into the Crockpot produces the best flavor and helps to tenderize the meat.
• I cook my roasts on low for 8 hours, so the meat is nice and tender.
• Cooking times may vary depending on size of the chuck roast.
• Mississippi Roast/Chicken recipes can be on the saltier side because of the Au Jus packet. If you want to cut back on the sodium, I recommend using low sodium beef broth and skipping the salt when seasoning the chuck roast for searing it. You could also use 1/2 the Au Jus packet instead of the whole packet.
• The Pepperoncinis do not make the roast spicy.
• This recipe is great served over mashed potatoes, rice, or even made into sandwiches.
