- Ranch dressing mix – You can find this in packets on the salad dressing aisle.
- Au jus gravy mix – You can usually find this in packets near the dehydrated mashed potatoes.

Preparation
Can you make Mississippi roast ahead of time?
You can absolutely make this a day or two in advance! Just store the cooked meat in a sealed container in the fridge and heat it up on the stove top or in the microwave before serving.
Can I substitute the au jus mix for brown gravy?
In a pinch you can substitute the au jus packet for a brown gravy packet, but if you have the choice, go for the au jus!
Can you make it with a frozen roast?
Mississippi pot roast can be made with frozen meat when using the instant pot to cook it. We do not suggest cooking from frozen in the slow cooker or oven as you run the risk of the meat sitting at an unsafe temperature for too long.
How do you thicken the gravy?
- Cornstarch – My favorite way to thicken the Mississippi roast gravy is with a cornstarch slurry. Mix together equal parts cornstarch and cold water, then add them to the drippings in 1 – 2 tablespoon increments while they are simmering. Continue adding until you reach your desired consistency.
- Flour – You can use flour to thicken with the same method as cornstarch (above), I find it takes more flour and you'll need to simmer longer when compared.
- Potato flakes – This is the easiest way to thicken! Stir in plain dehydrated potato flakes until you get to a consistency you like.
When it's finished cooking, the meat should shred easily with a fork.

Can you make it in the oven?

I love extra pepperoncinis, but you can use less or even skip them entirely.
Storage and leftovers
How long does the Mississippi pot roast recipe last?
It will last 3 – 4 days in the refrigerator if properly stored in a sealed container. It will last indefinitely if frozen.
Can you freeze it?
You can freeze Mississippi pot roast after cooking it. I love to do this so we have an easy pre-made meal! Allow the meat to cool, then store in an airtight freezer safe container. If kept at or below freezing, it will be safe to eat indefinitely, but for best flavor and texture results it's best to consume within 6 months.
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, on low power in the microwave, or on the stove top with a cup or two of additional broth or water.
What is the best way to reheat Mississippi pot roast?
We typically reheat ours in the microwave for 1 – 2 minutes per individual serving. You can also reheat it on the stove top or in the oven. When reheating on the stove top or in the oven, you may want to add a cup of liquid to keep it from drying out.
The sauce is delicious and easy to thicken if you prefer a gravy.
