Mississippi pot roast. Tender and juicy every time!

We only use rump roast! We have tried chuck and all the others and there always tough. We put a rump
Roast in the crockpot at night and the next day it is super tender! We also put in a pack or two of this when we put the roast in the crockpot for seasoning and it is tender and delicious!

My mother always did them in the oven with the cooking bags. Golden mushroom soup on top, beef broth on bottom with veggies! Always delicious!

@iomlk23 my papa taught my mom this way. ALWAYS golden mushroom soup.

@iomlk23 I did that for New Years Day for dinner and it still came out tough.

@feliz I've found the secret to roast is low and slow and if it doesn't fall apart you didn't cook it long enough.
I've turned many roasts into pulled pork or pork sammiches bc I wasn't patient enough or a waited to ling to start it. Not every is gonna wiat that long, but honestly time is the factor. I start mine at 8am. If by noon I don't feel like it's cooking fast enough I turn it up to high for 2 to 4 hours, then finish on low again.

I have a way to cook a roast that is always tend. The secret is to use a slow cooker bag and instead of pulling the bag down the side of the crockpot, fold it back over the roast.
I use McCormick stew packet and 2 cups of diet Dr Pepper to mix the packet in. If you don’t have Dr Pepper you can use beef broth. However, a pop product is better. The answer is the slow cooker bag!

add cream of mushroom soup, it breaks down the enzymes in the meat

We put it in a crock pot fat side up with carrots, potatoes, onion. Pour on Linton french onion soup mix and beef broth. Cook on low 6-8 hours. Falls appart.
Now if you want pulled pork stick pork roast fat side up in crock pot with root beer. Cook on low 6-8 hours.

season and sear until brown on both sides. cook on low for 8-12 hours.

@slrpro02 yesss. Searing it most definitely and cook slow and long. I agree!

Crockpot with moisture like, water, broth, butter etc or a combo of all 3. Season with whatever you like. Can flour and sear before putting in crock pot but not necessary.

Chuck roast should be tender, because it's a well marbled piece of meat. I've found it works the best
I just made one with
1.5 cups beef broth
1 packet ranch mix
1 packet brown gravy
1 packet Italian dressing mix
Mix those and pour over the roast. Cook on low for 8 hrs...you can add veggies around the 5hr mark, that gives them 3 hrs to get tender.

Cook it longer. Doesn't matter the cut if you cook it long enough it will become e tender

Reasonable amount of time pressure cooker. Otherwise I do low and slow in crock pot. I usually start in morning for dinner.

 

[landscaping88]

Just make sure the roast is covered with the liquid.

Crockpot, low and slow

Lipton onion soup mix, 2cups water, put in oven on 325 to 350 depending on oven for 3hrs. It will fall apart literally
