Hey y’all! GOODe Ole Boy here!
I grew up on meat and taters. That’s what my momma always made for my daddy after a long day’s work. It was always roast beef, beef and noodles, juicy hamburgers and the occasional mouth watering steak. The cow played an important role in my life as you can see.

Cris texted me the other day and said to put on this roast recipe that I’m sharing with you. After I got all the ingredients together I thought to myself, “This dish is too simple to make and be all that GOODe…” Boy, was I wrong! In my humble opinion, out of all the recipes that we have collectively featured on our site, this is my #1 recipe. In fact, as I was eating this (again– we make it A LOT) just last night, I mentioned to Cris that this is now my most favorite recipe EVER. That includes anything I have ever eaten, and I have eaten a lot of food in my lifetime folks. I LOVE it when Cris pairs this roast with her Crock Pot Parsley Potatoes.
Now, the title of this roast is called Crock Pot Mississippi Beef Roast. I just call it THE roast. You know, like she’ll say “Honey, I’m making a roast for dinner tonight.” and I’ll say “You mean, THE roast?” And I’m hoping…no, PRAYING she says yes. Our Miss Add even asks for the leftovers in her lunch for school the next day. The first time we made this recipe, Cris was hoping to use the leftovers for multiple recipes like beef stroganoff, sandwiches, etc. However, there were no leftovers to do it!

This dish is a set it and forget it recipe that will not disappoint. It literally takes less than 5 minutes to prep. The hardest part of this recipe is the waiting. The reward though, is the waiting. When the roast cooks for the full 8 hours it becomes fall apart tender. Flipping the meat over after 4 hours will evenly distribute the flavors.
Did you notice that there are no liquids in this recipe? I did too, however, there are no liquids required! The butter and the juices from the meat are all the liquid you need!
My favorite way to eat this is on a hoagie bun. I take the top part of the bun and set it in the juices from the roast. That is all that is needed to make that sammich pure heaven! (In the next few days Cris is going to share some of the different ways she attempts to make THE roast last a bit longer at our house…)

Hi Charles-
I am sorry that you hate peppers. However, I just looked it up and there are only 8 recipes on this site of over 250 posts that include peppers… I think your math is a little off…
Oh and feel free to make this recipe without the peppers if you’d like…
This recipe was fantastic! I’d have given it 5 stars, but I think the peppers were sooo spicy (I’m a wimp, to be fair). Next time I’ll skip the peppers–but without a doubt, this recipe is absolutely a keeper! Thank you!!
I have made a similar roast with the pepperoncini and actually had company when it was served. Everyone loved it. I will be trying yours very soon because it has a different flavor profile with the ranch and brown gravy mix. Sometimes I add onions that are cut into quarters. Oh, by the way when I look at a recipe and note there’s an ingredient that I don’t like I either skip the recipe or try to substitute. I do not comment negatively about an ingredient. Love your recipes!
Sandra, you can try it! Beef roast with potatoes & carrots were another staple at Momma’s house.
Midge, the mixes just make it all super simple to put together. Even my clumsy self can have this put together and crockin’ in less than 5 minutes. As for adding or subtracting stuff from our dishes, it’s an individual’s taste. We don’t judge. Heck, my brother likes applesauce on his pizza! (That probably won’t make it to either one of our recipe blogs though…)
I’m planning to cook this soon. Have you ever put potatoes or other vegetables in with the meat? Would you add them in the beginning or halfway through?
Hi Naomi-
We have thought about it but haven’t tried it yet. Let us know how it goes! Enjoy!
This particular roast recipe tastes wonderful on top of mashed potatoes, as opposed to a traditional roast, where you cook the carrots and potatoes in the crock pot along with it. I was a big skeptic at first, thinking the weird mix of ingredients wouldn’t work, by oh my goodness, it is delicious!!
