Ingredients to make a Mississippi Pot Roast Sandwich
- Beef – I like to use chuck roast for this recipe because it just results in the juiciest, tender meat.

- Butter – Butter really adds richness to this dish.
- Seasonings – You will need Au Jus gravy mix seasoning and a dry Ranch seasoning mix for this Mississippi roast recipe.

Slow Cooker Recipe Steps
Step 1: Add the roast
First, place the roast in your slow cooker, then top the roast with your seasoning packets and rub in. Next, add a jar of pepperoncini peppers and top with the butter. After that, cook your Mississippi roast on low for 6-8 hours.
Step 2: Shred the meat
Then, when the roast is tender, shred the meat with two forks. The roast should be falling apart!
Trust me when I say that the shredded meat is some juicy beef! You’re really going to love this crock pot Mississippi roast recipe!
Step 3: Serve
Now, cut a loaf of your favorite bread into sandwich slices and slice them open.
Step 4: Add toppings
Finally, add cheese to the bread and top with your delicious Mississippi roast meat!
Tips & Variations
- I like to serve my Mississippi Roast on crusty bread and top it with provolone cheese. You can also add a little mayo or ranch dressing if you’d like.
- Store any leftover roast in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days! I love to use my leftovers for sandwiches or even to top off a salad during the week.
- You don’t necessarily need fancy meat shredders for this recipe. The tender roast should easily shred simply using a few kitchen forks.
- Don’t forget to drizzle some juice on top. A few tablespoons of liquid can make it have so much more moisture. Pour over the top and enjoy. The beef broth is so good and you can add in some black pepper as well.
Mississippi Roast Beef FAQs
You can serve this roast with any of your favorite side dishes! My favorite side to have with this sandwich is my Easy Pasta Salad. You can also serve this classic pot roast with mashed potatoes, or other delicious low-carb sides.
You can’t go wrong with vegetables. Adding in carrots is a great recipe. Cauliflower rice is perfect, too.
Technically, you do not need to add water to cook Mississippi roast in the Crockpot. You can add a little water to create steam or use a broth or stock to add flavor to your meat.
Cook your Mississippi roast on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. That being said, I recommend cooking on LOW for the most tender meat.
I prefer to use chuck roast, especially in this slow cooker Mississippi roast recipe, because the meat just becomes so fall-off-the-fork tender, making it super easy to shred. You can also use a brisket or round cut, but you’ll probably need to slice rather than shred that meat. This is seriously the best roast recipe.
If you prefer to make this Mississippi roast recipe in the oven instead of a slow cooker, you can follow the same seasoning steps and then place in the oven at 350 degrees F for 2 to 2½ hours. A lot of people will use a dutch oven for cooking it in the oven. Cooking it in high heat will make it nice and tender.
Use leftovers for easy lunches or as leftovers for a delicious dinner. Once you shred meat, it opens the doors for lunch recipes and other delicious recipes.

Do you add the juice in the bottle of peppers? When do you add the butter?
I added about 1/2 the juice in the jar of peppers. I like the spice and tanginess of the juice. Or, add about 1/4 of the juice and mix with a little water. Put the butter on top before you put on the top. I used only 1/2 stick.
