This recipe is perfect for using up leftover pot roast or making something new and unforgettable from scratch. Whether you’re hosting friends or just want a cozy evening treat, Mississippi Pot Roast Dip delivers comfort in every creamy, tangy bite.

What Kind of Roast Should I Use?

For best flavor and texture, choose a chuck roast—its marbled fat breaks down beautifully during slow cooking, making it juicy and shreddable. You can also use leftover pot roast if you’ve got it on hand—just be sure it’s tender enough to mix smoothly into the creamy base.

Ingredients for the Mississippi Pot Roast Dip

Chuck Roast – Slow cooked until fork-tender, this is the heart of the dip. You can also use leftover pot roast.

Cream Cheese – Brings the creamy base that makes every bite smooth and rich.

Sour Cream – Adds tanginess and lightens the dip’s texture.

Pepperoncini Peppers – These bring signature tang and a touch of heat that define Mississippi roast.

Ranch Seasoning – Gives that iconic herby zip to balance the richness.

Au Jus Mix – Adds depth and beefy flavor that ties everything together.

Shredded Cheese (Cheddar or Mozzarella) – Melts into the dip for gooey, cheesy comfort.

Butter – Enhances the richness of the roast during cooking.

Potato Chips or Bread – For dipping, of course!

How To Make the Mississippi Pot Roast Dip

Step 1: Slow Cook the Roast

Place your chuck roast in a slow cooker with a few pepperoncini peppers, butter, ranch seasoning, and au jus mix. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat shreds easily.

Step 2: Shred the Meat

Once cooked, remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Discard any large fatty pieces.

Step 3: Blend the Creamy Base

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and a handful of shredded cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Combine and Heat

Stir the shredded roast into the creamy mixture along with chopped pepperoncinis. Mix thoroughly and transfer to a skillet or baking dish.

Step 5: Melt and Serve

Top with more shredded cheese and broil for a few minutes until hot and bubbly. Serve with chips, crostini, or toasted baguette slices.

Serving and Storing the Mississippi Pot Roast Dip

This dip is best served warm, right out of the oven, when the cheese is gooey and the flavors are bold. To keep it warm for gatherings, you can transfer it to a mini slow cooker or a warming dish.

For leftovers, store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving again.
