Instant Pot or Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast

Instant pots and slow cookers are at opposite ends of the spectrum yet, both yield such delicious results. Thanks to the growing popularity of Instant Pots, it's no longer necessary to reserve this kind of Sunday supper meal to weekends. Just like the pressure cookers of yesteryear, roasts can be cooked in an Instant pot in no time flat.

Helpful Tips for Making Pot Roast

• A chuck roast will result in the most tender and flavorful option for this recipe. Due to the fat marbling in the beef  it makes the flavor shine.
• You'll note when seasoning the roast before searing, there's only pepper called for in the recipe. That's due to the fact there is ample sodium in the au jus and Ranch dressing mix and no need to add more.
• The pepperoncini and juice add flavor but, aren't spicy. They provide a nice balance to the rich flavor of the roast. If you like spice, add red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce to the mix.
• I give a range of 8-10  pepperoncini for this recipe but, you can certainly adjust the amount adding more, or less, to your taste. This is another moment when there's no need to "sweat the small stuff."
• Please see the Cook's note for slow cooker and oven instructions.
