Mississippi Pork Roast

This Mississippi pork roast is just about the easiest crockpot recipe we make! Just 5 ingredients and the result is a super flavorful, tender pork roast that practically melts in your mouth. The dish really isn't spicy - the pepperoncini just help cut the richness of the pork and balance the flavors while adding a bit of zip to the pork.

Ingredients

3-4 pound pork roast
1 packet Au Jus mix
1 packet dry ranch seasoning
6 tablespoons butter
8 pepperoncini peppers plus ¼ cup of juice from jar

Instructions

Add the pork roast to a crockpot and sprinkle with the seasoning packets.
Place pats of butter over the pork roast.
Arrange the peppers around the roast and add ¼ cup of juice from the jar of pepperoncini to the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 8-10 hours or until the pork roast shreds apart easily. Every slow cooker cooks differently, so timing will depend on your slow cooker. When pork is tender and easily pulls apart, it is done.
Pull apart the pork into chunks and serve with the juice spooned over the top.

Notes

You can use any cut of pork you like for slow cooking, but we prefer pork sirloin or ribeye roast. Pork shoulder or butter is delicious for slow cooking and shredding apart, but id does have quite a bit more fat than we usually like for this recipe.

Au jus mix can be found with the packets of gravy, chili seasoning, etc. in the grocery store. We use McCormick brand.

We prefer to use Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning - not ranch dip. The seasoning packet has less sodium than the dip and makes for a less salty finished product.

If you don't like the peppers, you can leave them out entirely, but they do add to the flavor and are easy to pick around. At the very least, we recommend using the juice from the jar.
