🧠 Tips for Perfect Mississippi Pot Roast

  • Chuck roast is ideal — it becomes juicy and fall-apart tender
  • Don’t add water or broth — the roast makes its own savory juices
  • For a spicy kick, use hot pepperoncini or add chili flakes
  • Use unsalted butter to avoid excess saltiness from the seasoning mixes
  • Want it thicker? Mix in a cornstarch slurry at the end

🔄 Variations

  • Mississippi Chicken – use boneless chicken thighs or breasts
  • Mississippi Pork Roast – try with a pork shoulder or Boston butt
  • Low Sodium Version – use homemade ranch and au jus seasoning blends
  • Oven or Dutch Oven – Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 3–4 hours

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions

Is Mississippi Pot Roast spicy?
Not really — pepperoncinis add tang, not heat. Use fewer peppers for a milder flavor or hot pepperoncinis for heat.

Can I make this in the oven?
Yes! Bake it covered in a Dutch oven at 300°F (150°C) for 3–4 hours.

What can I use instead of au jus mix?
You can substitute with brown gravy mix or make a homemade version with beef bouillon, onion powder, and garlic powder.
