    I Kicked It Up A Couple Of Notches……I browned the Roast with "Slap Yo Mamas" cajun spice…..Used a Spicy Ranch mix…..and Hot Banana Peppers and the juice from the jar……I like a little kick in what I eat.

    Made this tonight and it turned out awesome! Few changes: Roast was a good 2 inches plus thick and weight was 4 lbs. I cut it in half and browned each half on all sides in a skillet until they were deep caramel brown. (took about 20 some minutes but worth it..) Cut about 6 or 8 big brown cremini mushrooms into quarters and placed in bottom of Instant Pot. Added just under 3/4 cup Pepperoncini liquid and no beef broth. (counted on the mushrooms to release their liquid which they did..) Nestled roast halves into the pot (on top of mushrooms) in one layer. (it was tight but managed) Used about 10 pepperoncinis (some were smallish) on top along with the packets and 4 tablespoons butter here and there. I cooked for 75 minutes and let the pressure come down naturally until the pin dropped. The meat was perfectly cooked and tender! After removing the meat and pepperoncini, I buzzed the liquid and mushrooms with immersion blender until smooth. (inside the pot) Made a paste out of flour and some of the juice and added that back in to thicken into gravy. ( did this with the insert placed on the stove while I made rice in another insert- yes you can use the inserts over your stove burner…) Served with Jasmine rice (made in IP) OH- my- Lord it was slap yo' mamma good with gravy poured all over everything! For those wondering- when the roast was finished, , it was not submerged. (I like that it wasn't boiled..) The top of the beef was up above the liquid and I'd say it made about 4 cups of knock your socks off gravy. So that's my Mississippi Pot Roast rant! Thanks for the great recipe 🙂 (correction: probably more like 3 cups of gravy..)

    60 min was not long enough for my 21/2 pound of roast. I will try again just longer next time. And I don’t think you really have to add so much water . I had plenty in my meat just from the meat.

    Made your recipe for Mississippi Pot Roast, came out delicious! My son wasn’t too fond of the peppers, but he’s 12! His palette isn’t well refined. Making this again and again. Didn’t change a thing! Y’all are cute!

    I’ve been searching high and low for a beef roast that looks like NC. I’ll send a pic when I find it. 😉 I’ve made this in my Crock Pot and turned it into sliders. Oh Man!
    Oh thought you might be interested in how to pronounce those peppers since they really didn’t come from Indiana. Heh. The ‘c’ is pronounced as ‘tch’ instead of ‘s’.

    When I make Mississippi Beef Pot Roast, after I take the roast out of the pot when done, I shred the meat and place on a sub bun and top with cheese such as provolone and melt the cheese under the broiler. Top with more pepperoncini's and whatever you like to use for toppings, such as onions and tomatoes. Makes a great sandwich!

    I'm going to have to try your recipe with the peppers. In the version I always used, it includes a packet of dry italian salad dressing power, just like the ranch and brown gravy. I have a feeling it does a similar thing with the spices. Thanks!

    Ok… sigh… pulling up my big girl panties, donning my faux toque blanche, and getting my new (thank you Mikey and Amazon Prime Day Deal) Instant Pot and attempting this tonight. Mostly, I gotta do it at some point, and because I'm still feeling this bronchitis. The hotel in FL was nice but glad to be home where I can cook what I want. <3

    I just got an Instant-pot and I did the recipe with a 3 lbs roast using just a stick of butter, packet of Au Jus, and 9 pepperoncinis. I cooked it for 45 mins. It came out great, it had plenty of fluid, all of the meat juices and steam condensation gave more liquid than with the slow cooker even without adding all the extra fluids (no beef broth, no pepperoncini juice). I also let it natural release the pressure, giving the meat more time out of pressure to rest.

    It came out fork tender, but what I noticed with it was after shredding up the roast in the cooker and stirring it up, I let it sit for about 10 more mins in the juices , and it got even more tender. Best version of the mississipi my wife and I had ever had, and in about 1/8th the time.
