FAQs
It is called Mississippi pot roast because the home cook who developed the recipe lived in Mississippi. It's as simple as that!
Mississippi Pot Roast has a more tangy, zesty flavor than traditional pot roast. The addition of ranch dressing mix, au jus gravy mix, butter, and pepperoncini peppers gives it a strong combination of flavors.
A packet of brown gravy mix can be used instead of a packet of au jus mix in Mississippi pot roast. This will make a thicker gravy.
Serve Mississippi roast with classic pot roast side dishes such as creamy mashed potatoes, green vegetables, or salad.
Rump roast is slightly more tender than chuck roast; however, both chuck and rump roast can be used for making slow cooker pot roast.
How to Make Pot Roast Gravy
- Once done cooking, remove the pot roast from the slow cooker.
- Measure out 1 cup of the drippings from the crock pot.
- Whisk 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with ¼ cup of water, then add the mixture to the drippings. Stir to combine thoroughly.
- Cover and cook the liquids in the crock pot for an additional 30 minutes. Shred your beef and add it back to the liquids in the crock pot once done. Enjoy your thickened pot roast gravy!
