Looking for the most delicious pot roast ever? This Crock Pot Mississippi Pot Roast Recipe will not disappoint!

Pot Roasts that are made in the crockpot are one of the most flavorful and also easiest meals to make – especially Mississippi style! Not only is this my favorite pot roast recipe, but it’s the rest of my family’s as well!

We love delicious crock pot recipes, like our Easy Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings Recipe with Biscuits  and Crockpot Turkey Pumpkin Chili!

CROCK POT MISSISSIPPI POT ROAST RECIPE

Just imagine a cold, chilly night where some comfort food sounds like it could really hit the spot? Or even better… anytime of the year because it is simply so amazing!

Not only do the flavors melt in your mouth with each and every bite that you take, but it is an easy, go-to recipe. Perfect for those times where you want to spend the least amount of time preparing and cooking your meal as possible.

WHAT IS A MISSISSIPPI POT ROAST?

A Mississippi Pot Roast is made with several ingredients, with the most important one being the chuck roast. Chuck roasts are one of the more inexpensive beef cuts, making this a good recipe choice when cooking for a large group of family or friends! You could even freeze the leftovers to save for your next comfort food craving.

When choosing your chuck roast, pay attention to the amount of fat throughout the roast. Try to find one that has thinner fat segments because those will melt off and create a super soft and tender roast, which is what makes this meal so tasty!

NOT A FAN OF CHUCK ROASTS?

Chuck roasts aren’t your jam? Try it with another type of meat such as pulled pork! It will still have a very juicy and flavorful end result.

WHY IS IT CALLED A ‘MISSISSIPPI’ POT ROAST?

Rumor has it, that a lady in a town named Ripley, Mississippi had adapted a recipe given to her from a friend.  Her goal was to make it a less spicy version.  She ended up passing the recipe to a friend who had it published in a church cookbook.  It was eventually given the name Mississippi Pot Roast because the original author was from Mississippi.  Apparently, it’s even been named “the roast that owns the internet” by the New York Times.  It’s obviously very popular and really delicious, too!  

WHAT DO YOU EAT MISSISSIPPI ROAST WITH?

While you can eat the Pot Roast straight from the crock pot and it will be everything you could have ever dreamed of, there are three options that stand out to pour the Pot Roast over once it is cooked – mashed potatoes, egg noodles or rice!

Not a fan of mashed potatoes, rice or egg noodles? Try adding the roast onto a Hoagie or French Roll to enjoy it sandwich style! For a side, you could add some French fries or maybe some grilled asparagus.

IS THE CROCK POT MISSISSIPPI POT ROAST RECIPE KETO-FRIENDLY?

It sure is! The carb count is low in this delicious meal as long as you pair it with some cauliflower rice or mashed cauliflower. Simply avoid mashed potatoes and rice for a simple swap that is still so yummy!

WHAT IF I DO NOT HAVE A CROCK POT?

No worries, we have an alternative route! Do you have an oven? If so, all you have to do is add the roast along with the other ingredients as directed on the recipe into a small roasting pan or a Dutch oven!

Simply bake it around 325 degrees until it becomes tender enough that you can pull away the pot roast with a fork, which is generally around half the time that it takes to cook in a crock pot.

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
