Common Questions

Why is my roast still tough?

The roast hasn't cooked long enough. Some cuts of meat, especially thicker cuts just take a little more time than others. If the meat is tough, continue cooking another hour or until beef is easily shredded.

Is the roast spicy?

No, not at all. You can easily control the heat by adding more or fewer pepperoncini. If you want the roast spicy, double the number of pepperoncini that we have indicated.

Can I add carrots to the roast?

Yes, just add carrots with the remaining ingredients and cook together.

Can I add potatoes?

Yes, cube the potatoes and add them around the roast, cook together.

What meat is best?

We recommend a beef chuck roast. The marbling adds flavor and juices to the roast as the meat is slow-cooked.

Juicy, tender, and mouthwatering… I hope this easy slow cooker Mississippi Pot Roast becomes a new favorite recipe for you.
