    Best Mississippi Roast Recipe

    If there is one meal my family loves more than any other, it's a good pot roast recipe. My Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast is always such a hit, I knew I had to find a way to make it in the Instant Pot - and this recipe was a huge success!

    If you don't have the time to cook a roast traditionally or in the slow cooker, or just want it to be done more quickly, the Instant Pot is a total lifesaver. It takes just an hour to cook Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast, and then under 30 minutes to release the pressure and serve.

    The best part is, you don't lose out on any tenderness or flavor, either. This is the best Instant Pot Mississippi Roast - it's so juicy, tender, and amazingly flavorful, in so little time! I know you'll love it as much as my family and I do.

    Instant Pot Mississippi Roast FAQs

    How many minutes per pound for a roast in an Instant Pot?

    How long a roast takes to cook in the Instant Pot depends on the size of the roast. Account for about 15 minutes of cook time per pound when cooking roast beef in the Instant Pot. Then, naturally release the pressure for 15 minutes to finish cooking the beef. For this 4 lb. roast, we cook on high pressure for 60 minutes, then naturally release the pressure for another 15.

    Can you overcook chuck roast in Instant Pot?

    It is possible to overcook a chuck roast in the Instant Pot. I recommend using 15 minutes per pound and checking with a meat thermometer for doneness if you're cooking a larger or smaller piece of meat. You can always add more cook time if it's not done to your liking, but once it's overcooked, it's overcooked.

    Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast Ingredients

    • Rump or chuck roast
    • Pepperoncini peppers
    • Unsalted butter
    • Dry ranch seasoning packet
    • Dry au jus gravy packet

    The ingredients to make Instant Pot Mississippi Roast are simple, but so flavorful! I love the combination of the ranch seasoning with au jus, beef and pepperoncini peppers. It is incredible!

    Mississippi Roast Recipe Tips

    • You can use a packet of brown gravy mix instead of au jus if desired. This will create a thicker gravy.
    • Rump roast is slightly more tender than chuck roast, so I recommend giving it a try. However, you can use either rump roast or chuck roast for this dish.
    • To make gravy out of the Instant Pot roast drippings, measure out a cup of the drippings from the pot. Whisk it together with 2 Tablespoons cornstarch mixed with ¼ cup water, then simmer in the Instant Pot on saute mode for several minutes until thickened to your liking.

    What to Serve with Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast

    • Corn Ribs
    • Riced Potatoes
    • Yorkshire Pudding
    • Mushroom Risotto
    • German Potato Salad
    • Use the leftovers to make Beef Quesadillas or a Pot Roast Sandwich
