Slow Cooker Mississippi Pork Roast
I have fallen in love with this pork roast recipe. It is tender, juicy, and has all the flavor you need. It turned out perfect in the slow cooker, and I am here to tell you it was one of the best meals that I have ever made. Since making this recipe a couple of weeks ago, I have already made it again… Twice!
One of the best parts about this meal is that it is so incredibly easy. It takes less than 5 minutes to put everything in the slow cooker, and within minutes, it is ready for dinner. This tender, melt-in-your-mouth pork has a flavor that is to die for. Mississippi Roast usually calls for beef roast, but I love that you can always swap it out for pork. Not to mention, the leftovers are fantastic! Use them on top of some nachos, in a sandwich, or make yourself some tacos with the extra meat!

- Pork Roast: I like to get a roast that is already marinated and ready to go so that I can get to cooking it right away!
- Ranch Seasoning: This adds just the right fresh flavor and creates a delicious taste.
- Au Jus Gravy Mix: The au jus mix adds to the ranch and makes it so that as the post cookies, it tasks on additional flavor.
- Butter: I used unsalted butter in this recipe.
- Pepperoncini Peppers: Once the roast is done cooking, you can discard the peppers.

What Temperature to Cook a Pork Roast
The National Pork Board recommends cooking pork chops, Mississippi pork roasts, and tenderloins to an internal temperature between 145 degrees Fahrenheit (medium rare) and 160 degrees Fahrenheit (medium), followed by a 3-minute rest. Since large cuts increase in temperature by about 10 degrees Fahrenheit while resting, remove them from the heat at 150 degrees Fahrenheit, followed by a 10-minute rest.
How to Store Leftovers
If you have leftovers from this meal, then consider yourself lucky! The leftovers can be used in just about anything (I really loved them in a good sandwich or some tacos).
- In the Refrigerator: Once your roast has cooled, then you can place it in an airtight container and store it in your fridge. It will last for about 3-4 days.
- To Reheat: You can easily warm this up in the microwave just before serving!
- 2 pounds marinated fresh pork roast
- 1 packet ranch seasonings
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 1/2 stick butter
- 8-10 pepperoncini peppers
*If you are not a fan of peppers, you do not have to eat them, but they are great to add flavor during the cooking process.
