How to Make Mississippi Pot Roast

Welcome back to The Busy Baker. Today on the channel we're making this absolutely delicious, perfectly tender and juicy Mississippi Pot Roast. It's one of my favorite go-to meals to make for my family and you can make it easily from scratch in this slow cooker, instant pot, or in the oven. We'll start by combining one teaspoon of salt, half teaspoon of pepper, half teaspoon of dried parsley, dried dill, and a teaspoon of garlic powder and onion powder, half a teaspoon of dried thyme, and we'll mix that up together. This is going to be a bit of a dry rub for the roast. Be sure to pat the roast dry until you get as much moisture off as you can and then spread the dry rub all around the roast on all sides and rub it in as well as you can. We're using a 2.5 to 3 pound beef chuck roast here. You can also use a beef round roast and that's one of my favorite things about this recipe is that it calls for a relatively inexpensive cut of meat because it's cooking low and slow for such a long time. It gets nice and tender. Throw together a quick sauce with a cup of beef stock, some Dijon mustard or Worcestershire sauce, and a little bit of brown sugar along with about a quarter cup of pepperoncini juice. Because the pepperoncini peppers are pickled, this will give the sauce and the meat a really delicious tangy flavor. Place the roast into the crock pot and then add the pepperoncini peppers on top. We like about eight to ten but you can add more or less if you want. Add the sauce that you just put together and then about four tablespoons of butter on top and cook on high for about six hours or until the meat is fall apart tender and shreds easily. And if you'd rather make this recipe in the Instant Pot or even in the oven, feel free to check out the description box below where we'll link the blog post with the instructions for making it these different ways. Shred the beef and place it on a platter or in a container and serve it on top of some mashed potatoes. You can pour the sauce over as it is for serving or you can feel free to make a gravy and we'll explain how to do that in the description box below and we'll also give a link to the blog post where you can find the entire explanation and recipe. This is one of those amazing set it and forget it recipes and in six hours you've got a delicious warm comfort food meal that your whole family is going to love. It's the perfect meal prep meal and it freezes well too.
