I don’t know about you, but I LOVE a good pot roast recipe! This Crockpot Mississippi Pot Roast checks off all of the boxes for me. It’s easy, flavorful, tender and SO delicious!

I have to admit, I’m not usually one who likes very spicy foods. This recipe does have pepperoncini peppers, but it gives it just the right amount of kick and flavor without being overpowering.

I love to serve this roast on top of some good mashed potatoes with a nice salad on the side.

Here is what you will need:
