Assembling the Mississippi Pot Roast in the Slow Cooker

Start by placing your beef roast inside the slow cooker.

It should sit nicely on the bottom surface.

Next, evenly sprinkle both dry mixes over the top.

Get that ranch and onion soup mix everywhere.

In a little bowl, quickly whisk the soup and broth.

Pour this creamy mixture right over the seasoned meat.

Arrange those pepperoncini peppers all around the roast.

Cooking Times and Achieving Fork-Tender Results

Now it’s time for the butter pats.

Dot them evenly across the top layer.

Cover the pot tightly with the lid.

Cook this low and slow for 8 to 10 hours.

If you’re rushed, high heat works in 4 to 5 hours.

You want the meat to be truly fork-tender.
