    Mississippi Pot Roast FAQs

    Can I cook the pot roast on high setting?

    I would not. Low and slow is the way to get the roast cooked and tender. You don't want it to come out tough by rushing the process.

    Which cuts can I use instead of chuck roast?

    You're looking for a cut that will shred easily after cooking. Rump Roast/Bottom Round and even a London broil if you have it.

    Should I add liquid before cooking?

    You don't need to add water or any type of broth to this recipe. The meat will create its own juices while cooking.

    Do I need to sear the meat before adding to the crock pot?

    It's not necessary. As you can see from the picture above, the meat gets good color with no searing at all.
