INGREDIENTS

A  Mississippi roast has a few simple ingredients with so much flavor.

  • BEEF CHUCK ROAST – A chuck roast makes for the best roast in my opinion. It's the best cut of meat because it's tender and shreds well. A pork butt or rump roast would work as well.
  • PACKET OF AU JUS GRAVY MIX – An au jus mix makes the best gravy! Some recipes use an onion soup mix or brown gravy mix but an au jus seasoning packet is my favorite version.
  • RANCH MIX – A package of ranch dressing mix adds flavor.
  • STICK OF BUTTER – We add this on top of the roast and it melts into the roast and makes it so good. You can definitely use less if you want.
  • PEPPERONCINIS – These add some kick to the meat. Add less if you don't want it that spicy. Even throw in some of the pepperoncini juice to bring up the heat.

HOW TO SERVE THISMississippi Pot Roast sandwich

This can be eaten many ways. You can serve this over:

  • egg noodles
  • cooked noodles
  • mashed potatoes
  • cooked rice
  • on rolls with Provolone

IS THIS SPICY?

Really you can adjust it to your own tastes. You can use less pepperoncini and juice to make it more mild.

ARE BANANA PEPPPERS AND PEPPERONCINI THE SAME?

No. They are slightly different in taste and color. Banana peppers tend to be slightly sweeter and more yellow in color. The difference is very small though and they can be substituted. They can be found next to each other at the grocery store.
