What Is Mississippi Roast?
The original Mississippi pot roast recipe is made with a beef chuck roast, ranch dressing powder, au jus gravy mix, butter, and pepperoncini peppers. It’s slow-cooked until tender and shredded before being served. The finished slow cooker roast is rich and savory, with just a hint of spice from the peppers. Like Mississippi chicken, this is a twist on the original recipe. Here, we’re using a pork shoulder roast and onion soup mix. It’s delicious served on sandwiches, over mashed potatoes, or on top of egg noodles.
