Mississippi Pot Roast in the Slow Cooker

Mississippi pot roast is a classic Southern dish that is slow-cooked in a flavorful mixture of beef, pepperoncini peppers, ranch dressing mix, and au jus gravy mix.

We made this recipe a few weeks ago and the whole family loved it. It’s so flavorful and the meat is very tender. You can’t go wrong with this comfort food! We served ours over mashed potatoes.

Here is my TikTok video explaining how to make this delicious meal.
