Mississippi Pot Roast Slow Cooker Recipe

August 12, 2018 by Melissa 9 Comments

This Mississippi Pot Roast is so tender and packed with flavor! Skip the dried ranch packets and make this tasty slow cooker recipe with a quick homemade ranch dressing instead.

Mississippi Pot Roast

Mississippi Pot Roast is one of our favorite slow cooker recipes. The most popular recipe that I have seen is one that is cooked with a stick of butter and a package of ranch dressing mix. When I ran across a version in the NY Times that used a super quick homemade ranch dressing and cut back on the butter, I knew that was the slow cooker recipe for me! The acid in the pepperocini and the tang in the homemade ranch cut through the richness of the beef, and the butter makes it extra tender. The combination of flavors in this Mississippi Pot Roast recipe is really delicious!

Start by mixing up the homemade ranch dressing. It’s just a quick blend of mayo, apple cider vinegar, paprika and dill, but it packs so much flavor!

Season and flour the chuck roast. This will give the meat the tasty exterior crust and perfect texture while it cooks in the slow cooker.

Cook on low heat for about 8 hours or high heat for about 6 hours. Cooking time will vary depending on strength of the slow cooker.

Once the meat is tender, shred and serve as a main dish or as sandwich filling.

    This looks so good. I get stuck in doing my pot roast a certain way so this is a breath of fresh air. With the flavors and the homemade ranch dressing, I don’t see how it can miss.

    The flavors this meal combines are just delicious. I love the less butter option and homemade ranch. I have made that one a lot but prefer your recipe for sure!
