Smoked Mississippi Pot Roast

Hey guys! For months now, my wife and I have been loving the Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast that we make at home. It’s easy to make, full of flavor, and just the perfect amount of kick to make it WAY better than a regular pot roast. After several times making it, we thought it would be even better if we tried a Smoked Mississippi Pot Roast using the same recipes you find online, but just on a smoker instead of a slow cooker. Well, on Easter Sunday we tested our theory and it turned out amazing! It’s super simple and all you need is a chuck roast, butter, ranch packet, beef seasoning packet, and pepperoncinis. Let’s get to this…

How to Make a Smoked Mississippi Pot Roast

Step One. We used our Camp Chef Smoker  with a tin foil tray to hold our pot roast. If you have a dutch oven, that would be a good option too.

Step Two. We heated the smoker to 225 degrees and then placed the tray on the smoker with a stick of butter, sliced on top of the roast, two cups of water, 6-8 pepperoncinis, a packet of dry ranch seasoning, and a packet of beef au jus seasoning. We started it uncovered on the smoker for four hours.

Step Three. Cover the pot roast with foil for the remaining four hours (8 hours total cook time).

Step Four. Once cooked through and tender, we pulled off the grill and shredded, leaving the peppers in the mix. Then covered and let rest for about 30 minutes to let the meat soak up all the juices in pan. The juices are the BEST part of this!

The whole thing was very simple to make and it was by far the best Mississippi Pot Roast we’ve made to date. The texture was amazing, the burnt ends had so much delicious flavor, and the combination of the au jus, ranch seasoning, butter, and smoke was perfect! If you like smoked chuck roast with vegetables, then this tasty Mississippi pot roast is sure to give you a new appreciation for smoked meat!

You can use any type of pellets for this recipe, but we chose Mesquite pellets.

Give this Smoked Mississippi Pot Roast recipe a try! You won’t be disappointed!

Is Mississippi Pot Roast spicy?

The pot roast has a little kick to it, but it’s from all the flavor. If you’re worried about it being too spicy, use less pepperocinis when you’re smoking it. But I should add that my kids eat this with no issues and do not complain about it being too spicy. It has AMAZING flavor!

Can you make Mississippi Pot Roast without pepperocinis?

Yes, BUT the peppers really add to the flavor and in terms of peppers, they add more flavor than they do heat. I would recommend just using a few if you’re really concerned, but if  you smell the juices in the peppers themselves I think you’ll realize they don’t bring the heat you’re expecting.
