Mississippi Roast
September 13, 2012 in beef
You know those weeks months where nothing you cook turns out? I’m having one of those right now. I told y’all about all my cookies spreading but didn’t mention that it’s everything I cook. I don’t know what’s up with me but I’m sick of it! In an effort to make something my kids wouldn’t spit out (yeah, that bad) I decided to make this bad boy.
I don’t know why it’s called Mississippi Roast but I love Mississippi so we’ll go with it. It’s a big piece of meat that’s covered in dry ranch, gravy mix, and pepperoncinis and slow cooked all day in a ton of butter. I knew, without a doubt, that everyone in the house would love it.
Seriously, so good! The pepperoncinis give it just a little spice – enough that you notice it but not enough to make my picky guy whine about it. He actually asked for seconds and thirds!
The gravy can get a bit salty so if you plan on spooning some over mashed potatoes like I did, use a light hand when salting your potatoes. I also think you could get away with using (a lot) less butter – just substitute some water. The mixes will still make a really nice gravy for you.

Ooh hubs would love this
This is the perfect weeknight dinner! Wham, bam it’s done! I love simple dressings/gravies like this that smell good all day long!
If I don’t have a slow cooker, any idea what the oven temp/time would be to get the equivalent effect? My carnivorous boyfriend will love this!
I would say 300 for about 2 1/2 hours. The trick with chuck roast, because it’s kind of tough, is to keep the temp fairly low and just cook it forever. After a couple hours it should shred easily though. Let me know if you try it! :)
Great weeknight meal! I love being able to throw a meal in the crock pot!
the pictures of this roast is making me DROOL!!
I’ve been on a slow cook, crock pot user for the last month and can’t wait to try this.
Especially with the 5 easy ingredients.
Oh my word, heaven on a plate right there! Shredded beef is my kryptonite and your photo is making my mouth water!
I have been on such a sweet kick – something savory is right up my alley.
