Easy Slow Cooker Recipe

This Crockpot Mississippi pot roast is a big hit at our house. My husband always asks for seconds when I serve it. It’s an easy dinner to make in your slow cooker, so you can go about your busy day while the main part of your dinner is cooking. It’s also low carb on its own.

Perfect Family Dinner

This is delicious on the day it’s cooked. But it also makes wonderful leftovers! There are so many different ways to serve it!

The last time I cooked it I served it over mashed potatoes with a side of green beans. Then the next day, I wrapped it in a tortilla with a side of salsa. You can add whatever sauce you like to change the flavor. For example, barbecue sauce and a steamed or toasted bun give you flavor that would rival any smokehouse.

Ingredients

Of course, you’ll need a roast. So I used a 2-pound roast that I picked up at Publix.

The other ingredients are onion soup mix, ranch dressing mix, butter, pepperoncini peppers, and a tiny bit of water. You can add other seasonings, but it’s not necessary. I think it’s so good as it is.

How to Make Crockpot Mississippi Pot Roast

I always spray the inside of the slow cooker pot before I use it because it makes cleanup easy. Position the roast in the center of the pot. Sprinkle the onion soup and ranch dressing mix over the roast.

Place the stick of butter smack dab in the center on top of the roast. It will drizzle down the meat as it cooks, adding a deliciously rich flavor. Add the pepperoncini peppers and water to the pot. Then put the lid on and cook it until the roast is fork tender.

I used two forks to shred it. But if you have meat-shredding claws, use those.

Give the contents of the pot a good stir to make sure all of the deliciousness is evenly distributed.

Serve your Mississippi pot roast on mashed potatoes, rice, or a bun. No matter how you eat it, you’ll love the rich flavor of this dish.
