Mississippi Pot Roast is a tender, flavorful slow-cooked beef roast infused with tangy peperoncini peppers and rich butter, combined with ranch and brown gravy seasonings to create a deliciously savory dish that’s perfect for easy family meals.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 lb. chuck roast (3–5 lbs will work)
  • 1 oz. ranch seasoning packet (original, dip, or spicy packet can be used)
  • 0.87 oz. brown gravy packet (McCormick brand recommended)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick, salted butter can be used)
  • 10 or more peperoncini peppers
  • 1/4 cup peperoncini juice (optional for added tanginess and flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Roast: Place the chuck roast directly into the slow cooker. Browning the meat in a skillet beforehand is optional but not necessary for this recipe.
  2. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the entire ranch seasoning packet and brown gravy packet evenly over the top of the roast in the slow cooker.
  3. Add Butter and Peppers: Place the whole stick of butter on top of the roast. Add the peperoncini peppers and pour in the peperoncini juice if using.
  4. Cook the Roast: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or on HIGH for 6 to 7 hours. Avoid opening the lid during cooking to retain moisture and tenderness.
  5. Shred and Serve: Once cooked, shred the roast using two forks directly in the slow cooker. Remove any fatty pieces before serving.

Notes

  • The brown gravy packet can be substituted with homemade or other brand brown gravy mixes if McCormick is unavailable.
  • Using the peperoncini juice adds a tangier flavor to the dish but is optional.
  • Do not skip the butter as it contributes to the rich, silky texture of the roast.
  • For thicker gravy, remove the roast, pour cooking juices into a saucepan, and reduce on stovetop before serving.
  • This recipe is perfect for meal prepping and tastes even better the next day.
