Slow cooker food is remarkably unphotogenic.

That being said, I DID IT. I can’t thank the community enough for the hundreds of suggestions, I love you guys… intimately ;).

I decided to forego the ranch packet and opted for a Good Seasons one instead (Italian dressing). I added a couple of onions, some garlic cloves, the entire bottle of peppers and juice (stems removed), an au jus packet, and half a bag of baby carrots (because I forgot to buy new ones at the store).

After stabbing the chuck roast enough times to earn my own special on ID, I poured some beef stock on the meat and added everything else in. I decided against the butter because the cut I got was fairly well marbled.

8 hours later (SpongeBob French dude voice)

I drained about 60% of the liquid after shredding the meat, made a roux and thickened that nectar of the gods into a nice gravy. Added some thyme, garlic, black pepper, and rosemary.

I saw a lot of comments suggesting sandwiches and even more suggesting serving over mashed potatoes. Being the indecisive bastard I am, I’ve prepared both buttery, golden mashed potatoes AND some nice oven toasted onion rolls.

I apologize for my grammar as I am currently stuffing my face with this right now.

This was a team effort, Reddit.. and we fkn KILLED IT.

    No offense and I’m sure this was tasty, but this post reads like one of those comments you see on recipes where they substitute or omit more than half of the actual recipe to the point that it makes you wonder why they even read the recipe at all.

    This is not Mississippi roast. Mississippi roast is butter, au jus, ranch, and pepperoncini. The only ingredient shared between that and whatever you made is the au jus…

  4. As a Mississippian, please allow me to say that this isn’t Mississippi pot roast. You eliminated two of the three things that make it Mississippi, as well as added a whole bunch of other things.

    Having said that… I would eat your creation.

    You changed it so much that I don’t think I would call it a Mississippi Pot Roast anymore.

  6. The presentation doesn’t look like something I will eat, but I know that flavor is there so I would

    Umm…trynna be nice so I’ll say the meat part looks really good in photo #2! Just not sure about the “gravy” lol. It’s giving me angina just looking at it. Must be very rich gravy!

    You should be on an episode of “ the best, most un-appetizing food”

    I refuse to believe this is not somebody trolling this sub.

    Photos of food never come out well. Although I’m not sure Ansel Adams could have done this justice…

  11. knick1982

    I love the fact that you thought about your special on the ID channel lol

    With the leftovers i usually put some in a bowl with bbq sauce, mix it then put it on slider buns with some cheddar cheese. Add a pickle slice or a spear on the side with chips. Chef’s kiss 🤌

    When I first looked at the pictures I thought it was collard or turnip greens. Now that I know what it is I am resisting the urge to throw up. Kudos to the OP for having the courage to post pictures of this mess.

    This is the food Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes) was served

    Looks like a pile of barf, I would eat it
    In a heartbeat

    Glad you left the disclaimer re. the photo.
    Can we have seconds?😋

  17. Aggravating-Fee-1615

    Food is so hard to photograph! I’m sure it was great, OP! I would chow down.

    Looks like a frog got microwaved so long it exploded

    When food looks like some combination of gross greenish slop and poop from a butt you just KNOW it’s going to be the most delicious thing ever prepared by man

    This entire thread was solid gold. 12/10.

  21. I like to drain the juice from some of the meat and put it in a skillet under the broiler for about 5min, then flip/stir and do another 5-10. Looks like carnitas and works great in quesadillas, tacos, ramen, fried rice, etc.

    You have answered my biggest question about this recipe. I’ve wanted to make it, but my family (aside from myself) cannot abide ranch dressing in any form so I thought this was off the table. Totally going to try the Good Seasons as a substitute, that sounds fantastic! Thank you for trying this!

  23. PrettyActuality

    People are being so mean on this post lol

    OP, I’m glad it turned out delicious 🙂
