Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast Recipe

There is something very comforting about pot roast. Maybe because I remember having it when I was a child. Or maybe it is because of how easy it is to make?  I am not sure.  What I am sure about is that this Instant Pot Mississippi Pot roast recipe is delicious and hands down the best beef pot roast recipe I have ever eaten. I was so happy with it I had to make a Mississippi Chicken recipe too!

If you haven’t joined the Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker craze yet, you need to. This handy device has been a huge help in the kitchen. I can get meals on the table quicker and with only one pot to cleanup. It has been a lifesaver. You can pick up one for yourself on Amazon, just click here!

Using your pressure cooker, this roast is done is half the time it would take in the oven and far faster than a slow cooker method. (I did include slow cooker instructions after the printable recipe at the bottom of the post) I love using the Instant Pot for recipes that traditionally are slow cooked like this Instant Pot Chicken Gnocchi Soup and this Instant Pot Corned Beef recipe. The flavor that a pressure cooker can bring is amazing!

What is Mississippi Pot Roast?

Quite simply, Mississippi Pot Roast is the best roast you will ever eat! It is a cut of beef combined with broth, ranch dressing mix, au jus mix, and pepperoncinis. Traditionally this beef roast is made with butter, but I omitted it and I don’t think it needs it.  Any time I can cut a few calories I try to do it.

What cuts of beef are the best for Mississippi Pot Roast?

Just another reason to love Mississippi Pot Roast is that you can use all kinds of cuts of meat. I see chuck roast for sale all the time at my local grocery store which is why I am using this particular beef.  I stock up when I see it on sale so I can make this recipe.
