Notes

Mississippi Pot Roast is best served shredded and mixed with its rich, buttery sauce. It pairs perfectly with:
  • Mashed potatoes – allowing the creamy potatoes to soak up all the flavorful juices.
  • Egg noodles – for a comforting, hearty meal.
  • Rice or cauliflower rice – for a gluten-free or lighter option.
  • Roasted or steamed vegetables – such as carrots, green beans, or Brussels sprouts to balance the richness.
  • Toasted hoagie rolls – for a delicious sandwich with melted cheese.
