Mississippi Pot Roast
The Mississippi Pot Roast is a simple, set-it-and-forget-it recipe that guarantees a melt-in-your-mouth, fork-tender pot roast. You place a beef roast in the slow cooker with a packet of ranch seasoning, a packet of au jus gravy mix, a few pepperoncini peppers, and a bit of butter. Let it cook low and slow for hours, and when it’s ready, you’ll be rewarded with a juicy, flavorful roast that falls apart with the touch of a fork. It’s the easiest way to enjoy a comforting, savory meal with minimal effort!
