Mississippi Pot Roast

Complete Deliciousness

This Mississippi Pot Roast is tender, delicious, full of incredible flavor and made with only 5 ingredients.

As much of a foodie that I am, I had never heard of a Mississippi Pot Roast before a coworker mentioned it. She had brought her leftovers for lunch and a conversation occurred between a few us. Of course, my curious self, had to go home and look it up. I found several variations of the recipe and decided on one. It has only 5 ingredients that make it simple.

This Mississippi Pot Roast is simple to throw together in your crockpot, turn on and let it do its thing for 8 hours. It will be the most delicious, tender and juicy pot roast you’ve ever had.

A Mississippi Pot Roast is made with a chuck roast. Slow cooking a chuck roast yields an incredible tender roast. Adding the other 4 ingredients packs it full of flavor and creates the most fantastic gravy for potatoes, rice or noodles. I use a frozen chuck roast when making mine, but a thawed chuck roast works just as well.

Notes

** DO NOT add any liquid to this recipe. It will make its own while cooking **
 
If I am home while cooking this Mississippi Pot Roast, I like to add carrots about 6 hours into it cooking. They’ll be tender soft finishing up the last two hours with the roast.
