What’s In Mississippi Pot Roast?
BEEF ROAST – select a roast that has a good amount of marbling throughout. A chuck roast works well, as does a round roast or rump roast. Why not use a pork roast for a some variety?
PEPPERONCINI PEPPERS – the brine from theses zesty little peppers tenderizes the meat and provides loads of flavor without tasting too spicy.
HOMEMADE SEASONING – using this unique homemade ranch seasoning mix is easy and the ingredients all likely already in the pantry! Don’t have a ton of spices in the cupboard? In a pinch, a pre-made packet of ranch dressing mix can substitute for the seasonings without the additives and carbs.
BUTTER & BEEF BROTH – both ingredients provide delicious flavor and help tenderize the meat. Try a combination of bacon grease and butter for an interesting twist.
