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!
Ingredients in Mississippi Pork Roast
Simplify your life by using marinated fresh pork. It comes in a wide assortment of mouthwatering flavors, including; Roasted Garlic and Herb, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Sweet Teriyaki, and Slow Smoked Mesquite. It also comes in a wide variety of cuts, including; loin filets, chops, ribs, sirloins, and tenderloins.
- 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.
Let’s Cook a Roast!
This is a meal where you put all of the ingredients in the slow cooker, set it, and forget it! This Mississippi pork roast cooks to perfection and is so simple. This will be your new go-to family meal!
- Add to Crockpot: Add pork roast to the slow cooker. Sprinkle ranch and au jus packages on top. Top with butter and peppers.
- Cook: Cook on low for 6 hours.
- Shred: Remove the pepperoncini peppers, shred the meat with a fork and serve.
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!

I made this recipe with the pork and it was so delicious! So easy to make and you can do so much with the leftovers. My family loved it!
If you don’t have a pre-marinated roast, what would you use to marinate?
I use a plain pork roast and it still comes out great!
I don’t like pork and I didn’t think my bf did either. I was gifted a pork roast and tried to find a recipe that would cover up the porky flavor. This did not do that. Was very obviously pork and after 6 hours in the slow cooker was fall-apart tender. Turns out bf LOVED it! And he doesn’t ‘love’ any food! Just not food motivated yet pretty picky. This he ate for supper, for breakfast and then for supper again! That does. not. happen.
I did add a little chicken broth so I could make gravy at the end, but made sure to start with the seasonings and butter on top of the roast. Served it with egg noodles because I wasn’t sure what to do with it! 🙂 Suggestions are welcome!
Thank you, Alyssa, for making my life a little easier!
It would be nice to know how much peppers to add & what size jar to buy.
Hello! The number of peppers is listed on the recipe card at the bottom of the post. You use 8-10 pepperoncini peppers.
Can you sub banana peppers for the peperoncini?
Sure!
I made this today and it was wonderful. I thought I had an au jus packet but realized I did not, so I substituted a packet of Lipton onion soup mix since that was an alternative when I googled it. I also added some smoked garlic powder. It was so delicious and I already bought a packet of au jus powder so I can try it again with the original recipe. Definitely a keeper 🙂
Do I add any water to the pot or only butter
No water, just the butter!
Can you make this in the instapot? If so, how long do you cook it , etc?
I haven’t tried this in an instant pot. I recommend using a slow cooker so that the meat really has time to absorb all of the flavors and get tender.
I made this but also added 1 package of dry onion soup mix along with baby carrots and little gold potatoes and used 1 stick of unsalted butter sliced and topped with some parsley other than all that I followed the recipe though I cooked it for like 8 hours instead of 6. It was so darn delicious.
WOULD THIS WORK IN THE OVEN? I DON’T HAVE A SLOW COOKER.
I haven’t tried this recipe in the oven! Try this one instead! Melt in Your Mouth Pot Roast Recipe
Tried the recipe and it was wonderful. Thank you! Can you freeze left overs? Thought it would be a quick dinner one night with some egg noodles.
Yes! This Mississippi pork roast is great for freezing.
Is it 1/4 cup butter or 1/4 pound butter?
1/4 cup butter!
Does it have to be Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork?
You can use any brand of pork roast!
Does it have to be a marinated pork roast?
It doesn’t have to be but it will save you time and give it a lot more flavor.
This looks delicious! I don’t see meat here very often, so this was a real treat for a meat lover like me!!
Could I use sliced deli Pepperoncini and add some of the liquid instead of all the butter. It’s great without the butter with chicken thighs
Thanks for great recipe.
The food texture is just amazing. I will definitely give it a try.
I don’t purchase Smithfield because they’re owned by the country i do not do business with. I purchase my pork locally.
One thing I do differently. I put the pork roast on a bed of red onion. I then use a sweet onion on the top of the roast along with the Au jus, peppers and ranch powder. I like onions on the side when served. I lived in Mississippi for 4 years.
That sounds great! Thank you for sharing!
