HOW DO YOU MAKE A MISSISSIPPI POT ROAST?

This style of the recipe is one of my favorites because it’s so easy. Seriously doesn’t get any easier than this friends!! Just set it and forget it for an incredible roast dinner. This is what you need to do:

• Place the chuck roast in the bottom of your crockpot. ( I browned mine first, but if you are short of time, just skip that step)
• Sprinkle the ranch and au jus mixes over the top of the roast.
• Add the stick of butter and pepperoncini peppers.
• Place the lid on top and cook over low heat for 8 hours or more.

 

In a hot skillet, add olive oil.

Season the beef roast with pepper and sear in a hot skillet for a couple of minutes. NOTE: Readers have asked if it is important to sear the roast first before placing it in a slow cooker. It isn’t necessary, but if you have a couple of extra minutes, I think it adds a lot more flavor to the roast.

Turn the roast over after a couple of minutes. Sear the other side. Look at how brown and delicious that sear is, it really adds to the flavor.

Take out 8 peppers from the jar. Place them in the slow cooker. These peppers are not spicy, but they add a lot of flavors.

What is the difference between a crockpot and a slow cooker?

There is just a minor difference between the slow cooker and the crockpot. The pot of the slow cooker usually sits on a base that is the heating element on the bottom, while Crockpots have their pots inside of a container (or a crock) and gets heating from all sides. Therefore, slow cookers heat up slower than crockpots, with the heat level higher on the bottom of the pot.

What is a slow cooker and how does it work?

Slow cooking is very similar to a stovetop or a dutch oven. In a slow cooker, the heat begins at the base of the slow cooker and works its way up the sides, then into the food. The steam generated from the heat creates a vacuum seal with the lid. Low and consistent temperatures help to retain moisture during cooking. Do not open the lid until finished cooking.

Can you cook raw meat in a slow cooker?

Yes, raw beef can be cooked in a slow cooker. This slow cooker Mississippi Pot Roast has a step for browning the beef before it goes into the slow cooker. While this step isn’t necessary, caramelizing the meat creates richer, bolder flavors.
