This Mississippi Chuck Roast is one of the most flavorful slow cooker dishes that I’ve ever had. You may be wondering why it’s called a “Mississippi” Chuck Roast? That’s because someone in Mississippi came up with a similar recipe, and it just stuck. What makes it different from a regular chuck roast is the amazing, zesty combination of flavors. 

All that you have to do to make this pot roast is put everything into the slow cooker. How easy is that? Just brown your meat, add it into the slow cooker, put your seasonings into the slow cooker, and voila! When it is ready, the meat becomes so tender that it falls apart when shredded with two forks. It is tender, juicy, delicious, and will absolutely melt in your mouth!

What to Serve/Pair with Your Original Mississippi Roast Recipe

One of my favorite sides to pair with a roast is potatoes. These light and fluffy Mashed Potatoes are the perfect pairing. You can even pour a little juice from the slow cooker on top, similar to a gravy - yum! You can also try these tasty Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes.

For a veggie to go with this Mississippi Pot Roast, I like to make these Garlic and Bacon Green Beans. They add a little bit of sweetness to the meal and have just the right flavors to pair well with the roast.
    For dessert, just about anything will pair well with this roast, but if you want to turn it into a true comfort meal, this Homemade Apple Pie will do the trick. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a special treat.

Popular Substitutions & Additions

If you want more of an onion flavor, add in a few chopped onions to the slow cooker. They’ll be tasty to eat along with the roast, especially after cooking in the flavorful juice all day.

How To Reheat & Store Mississippi Pot Roast

This roast is just as tasty when it is leftover. If you have any left, transfer it to a sealed container and stick it in the fridge. It will last for up to 2 days. To reheat individual portions, heat them in the microwave for 2 minutes, or until warm.

You can also freeze this roast! Once it has completely cooled, transfer it to a sealed, freezer-safe container and put it in the freezer. It will last for up to 8 weeks. When you are ready to cook it, thaw it completely in the fridge, then heat it on low or high, depending on how soon you want it to be ready, in the slow cooker until it is warm.
