I’ve made my share of pot roasts. In the oven. In a crockpot. Heck, I’ve even smoked a pot roast (and boy, was it ever heavenly). There’s a 3-way tie on my list of my favorite things to make during the fall and winter: chili, gumbo, and pot roast. And when it comes to an easy-to-make pot roast, this slow cooker Mississippi pot roast is the king. Welcome to nothing but great flavors, tender beef and a sauce that screams ‘give me some mashed potatoes’!
Slow Cooker Perfection
Six ingredients and eight hours and you’ll be enjoying an absolutely flavor-packed fall-apart roast. Do not be tempted to add beef broth or any other liquid to this slow cooker Mississippi pot roast. It will make its own gravy just fine by itself. Add everything to the crockpot and go away. Leave it be. It knows what it’s doing.
I Know It’s A Pot Roast
It’s time for me to talk about using this pot roast for sandwiches. Oh sure I served it like you see in the picture. But the entire time I was enjoying it, I was thinking po boy. Most of my pot roasts end up on bread in some way or another. Why make a sandwich with plain ole sandwich meat when you can have a divide eating experience?
Oh and I always put mayonnaise on my pot roast sandwiches. Good mayo. There’s something about the creaminess of the mayonnaise and the meat that I really love.

We had this roast over mashed cauliflower. Yes, cauliflower.
If you’re looking for a to-die-for pot roast sandwich, check out my copycat of the one from the Hobnob Corner Restaurant, in Nashville, Indiana. Cheese caramelized onions and horseradish compliment the pot roast perfectly.
