Mississippi pot roast questions

[Minner]

I've heard and read so much about the Mississippi pot roast that I've decided to give it a try soon. I don't have much experience with roasts, so this will be new for me.

What do you all serve this on? I've read rice and mashed potatoes were popular. Also, any sides you all like with it? I thought about adding some chunks of potatoes and carrots in the crock pot but not sure how that would affect the flavor (all the recipes I've seen just have the peppers cooked with the roast).

Any other tips, tricks, etc. will be greatly appreciated!

We always add chunks of potatoes and carrots and always tasted great even with adding the peppers. You really never taste any of the peppers anyway, at least I can't.

Tried it once adding whole radishes (ran out of potatoes) and it was pretty tasty. We also add sliced mushrooms.

I throw in taters, carrots, onions sometimes wedges of cabbage. Serve with cornbread. Good stuff

I use Sliced banana peppers instead of pepperonis, I add onions and crushed garlic. As above you hardly taste the peppers.

Let it cook until it falls apart and serve over rice.

I also like to add a can of mushrooms and only about 1/2 a stick of butter as that's usually enough.

Good idea!

Rice is alright, but I will eat myself sick with Mississippi pot roast served over mashed potatoes. Fried okra as a side would be the end of me.

I only add 1/2 packet ranch and 1/2 packet au jus. too salty otherwise.

A buddy of mine told me about this recipe a couple years ago, and it’s hands-down my favorite way to eat bear meat. It’s indistinguishable from a good beef roast. My family prefers it over steak. Put the roast on a big bed of Bob Evans mashed potatoes, and oh my, you will eat till your sick.

Yes, the recipe as-is is veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrry salty.
