Mississippi Pot Roast
Description
This recipe begins by seasoning a chuck roast with salt and black pepper, then searing it in olive oil to develop a browned crust that adds flavor and texture. The roast is placed in a roasting pan and topped with pepperoncini juice, au jus mix, ranch dressing mix, chunks of butter, pepperoncini peppers, and minced garlic. These ingredients create a flavorful cooking liquid that infuses the beef during roasting.
The roast is baked at a low temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately two and a half hours or longer until it becomes tender enough to shred easily. The combination of the tangy pepperoncini juice, the savory seasoning mixes, and the butter results in a moist, rich roast with a slightly piquant flavor and buttery texture.
Once cooked, the pot roast can be served as a main dish paired with side vegetables or mashed potatoes. The cooking liquid can act as a sauce, enhancing the moisture and taste of the meat. This style of pot roast is notable for its convenience and flavorful simplicity using seasoning mixes and pepperoncini ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chuck roast
- salt
- black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup pepperoncini liquid from jar
- 1 au jus mix in envelope
- 1 Ranch dressing mix envelope

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Season the roast by sprinkling it with salt and pepper. Place olive oil in a large skillet. Over medium-high heat sear the roast for about 2-3 minutes per side, just to get it slightly brown.
- Place the roast in the roasting pan. Pour on the liquid from the pepperoncinis jar. Sprinkle on the au jus powder and ranch dressing powder.
- Cut up the butter and place small chunks of it over the roast. Place the pepperoncinis and garlic on top. Place the lid on the roasting pan or cover it tightly with tin foil.
