4 Tips for the Perfect Mississippi Pot Roast:

  1. Sear the roast before placing it in the slow cooker for an extra depth of flavor.
  2. Use whole pepperoncinis for a mild heat, or slice them if you like more spice throughout.
  3. Don’t lift the lid while cooking—this keeps the heat and moisture in.
  4. Leftovers taste even better the next day, so make enough to enjoy twice!
