Summary

Apparently Mississippi is the best place to go for an unbelievably delicious crockpot recipe. The first recipe of my Mississippi crockpot series is Mississippi pot roast, made with chuck roast.

It’s quite possibly the easiest crockpot recipe I have ever made, truly a dump and go but tastes like you actually seared the chuck roast first before adding it to the crockpot. If you have a long day at work all you’re going to need is five minutes before you walk out the door. Just plug it in, let it go, and when you walk back through the door you’re going to be shocked at the meal that was made for you while you were away. Let’s make it!



A Mississippi Pot Roast sits in a slow cooker, topped with slices of butter and chopped yellow pepperoncini peppers, surrounded by a light-colored broth. The slow cooker rests on a wooden surface.

Can’t get easier than this Mississippi Pot Roast. With these few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you will have a mouthwatering meal for your family. Just set the crockpot to low and let it do the work for you.

Look at the result! This roast is irresistibly tender and flavorful with a tangy kick from the peppers. Your family will be begging for seconds.

🤔 Common Questions

Can I make Mississippi Pot Roast in an Instant pot?

Yes, In the Instant Pot you use the “Sauté” function to sear the meat.

What sides go well with Mississippi Pot Roast?

I serve mashed potatoes on the side but you can use roasted vegetables or green salad.
