Original Mississippi Roast Recipe

The origin of the Mississippi Pot Roast can be traced straight back to Ripley, Mississippi. Resident Robin Chapman, who adapted a recipe given to her in the 1990s eventually became so popular that the New York Times declared it as "the roast that owns the internet."

Yeah, we're not joking when we tell you it's THAT good!

What cut of meat makes the best pot roast?

The tougher cuts of meat work best for pot roast. The lean cuts with lots of connective tissue and little fat. These cuts of meat come from the big muscly parts of the animal. These cuts of meat come from the rump or shoulders of the animal. These are the cuts of meat that would be really tough and impossible to chew if you grilled it or gave it a quick sear.

When making a roast, it's all about time and temperature. This low and slow process is really what makes a great pot roast.

When cooked on a low temperature, 325 degrees in a conventional oven or in a crockpot, the high amount of collagen in tough cuts eventually breaks down into gelatin, tenderizing the meat, making it moist and tender. This process also makes for the most amazing start to a velvety smooth gravy.

The following cuts of meat will all make a fine pot roast:

Chuck Roast: From the front portion of the animal. (Look for chuck roast, shoulder steak, boneless chuck roast, chuck shoulder pot roast, chuck seven-bone pot roast, or beef chuck arm. All these roasts work great for this low and slow process.
Round Roast: This works great for this recipe and is usually one of the more less expensive cuts of meat.
Tri-Tip: This is a fantastic roast but more on the expensive side.
Tenderloin Roast: This is the most tender cut of roast but not a necessary expense for this recipe. It tends to be more expensive than most of the other roasts.

To be honest, I'd find a lean roast, one that doesn't have a slab of fat on it or a huge vein running down the middle of it. With the ingredients in this recipe, with the added fat and all the spices, a leaner and less expensive cut of meat will work great.

How do I know when my roast is done cooking?

What you need to know about cooking ANY large piece of meat in the crockpot is YOU HAVE TO LET IT COOK LONG ENOUGH. Unlike any other kind of cooking – almost – the meat will get more tender the longer you cook it in the crockpot. When the roast beef is done you should be able to easily shred it with two forks.
If the roast is tough and not able to shred, it's not done. Eventually, the connective tissues in the roast will melt away and the roast will become shreddable.
Be sure to give yourself enough time for the roast to cook. It's much easier to keep a roast warm in the crockpot than it is to speed up the cooking process by a couple of hours when you have a bunch of hungry family members waiting to eat.
Every roast will become shreddable. If your roast isn't shredding, you haven't cooked it long enough. There is a sweet spot however between shreddable beef and beef that disintegrates in your mouth--overcooked roast.
You want to watch your beef, check on it every 30-60 minutes when you think it might be done. If your roast is done but you aren't quite ready for your family dinner, just turn the roast on low to keep it warm until you're ready to shred it/make gravy.

Ingredients in Mississippi Pot Roast

5-6 Pepperonchinis plus 3T of Juice: You can find these in the condiment section of the supermarket. Any of the bottled varieties will work.
Butter: Salted or unsalted butter will work great. This is to add some fat and moisture back into the meat. The cut of meat typically used for this recipe is a lean cut of meat.
