Does pot roast get more tender the longer you cook it?

Yes, as a roast cooks it goes from hard to tender. If you open the lid to find that your Mississippi pot roast is tough and doesn’t shred, put the lid back on and continue cooking. When your meat is ready it can shred with two forks.

What goes well with Mississippi pot roast?

Many people choose to serve their Mississippi pot roast with mashed potatoes, but you can serve it with anything you want including rice or egg noodles. Add a few cooked veggies or a side salad and you have a pretty complete comfort meal.

Do you have to add water to instant pot Mississippi roast?

Unlike when cooking Mississippi pot roast in a slow cooker where you don’t need to add any liquids, you should remember to add in a cup of liquid when using your Instant Pot. Pressure cookers need the liquid to help cook the meat properly.

Notes

If you’re making this recipe with a smaller roast, you will want to adjust the amount of seasoning you put in or you’ll end up with a super salty dish. For a 2 pound roast, use 1 tablespoon each of ranch and au jus mix.

*Be sure to read the labels for these products. The ones picture may change their ingredients, and you always want to make sure you’re buying dairy free if you need it. If you can’t find the right ones, you can always try homemade au jus mix or homemade ranch mix.
