Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast is a hearty, delicious main dish you’ll want to make over and over. It’ll be perfect for the cold winter months, and you will love its flavor.
First things first: neither my husband nor I have even been ones to fire up the slow cooker on the regular. But that might change. This Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast is a hearty and super-tasty dish!
My husband loves to cook as much as I do, and cooks almost more than I do. He said he’s been reading recipes for Mississippi Pot Roast for a few years and really wanted to finally make it. When he offers to cook something that I can share it with you, I don’t say no!
Slow Cooker for the Win!
We certainly didn’t come up with this recipe, and it’s very popular. I thought there would be some fabulously interesting story behind the name, Mississippi Pot Roast – how could there not be – but apparently it was simply made by a woman from Mississippi! It started making the rounds, and there you have it!
There are so many recipes for Mississippi Post Roast, and we did a few things differently from the others. But it’s the juices that develop while the roast cooks that make this dish what it is!
It’s a little tangy and zesty, and totally delightful! I love that it calls to add pepperoncini. We made our own Ranch “dressing” that gets mixed in with just some plain Greek yogurt, vinegar, and fresh dill. You could use mayonnaise instead of yogurt – I guess every little bit helps!
This is a seriously simple dish to make, and it’s seriously filling. It’s a bit rich, and we ate ours with roasted potatoes. I could see roasting up some carrots with the potatoes to add as a side. They’d add nice color, too.
We chose a small roast to cook, and it is definitely enough for six servings. I can imagine how satisfying this pot roast will be during the cold winter months.
