I know for sure that McCormick has a 30% reduced sodium version of their brown gravy packets….not sure about their au jus packets though….for the onion mix the Simply Organic brand I believe is much lower in sodium than the Lipton version…Simply organics might also have an au jus packet 🙂

Love this recipe! I nix the butter double the peppercini liquid, take the stems off the peppercinis and put in an entire 32oz. Jar on top of the meat and my family devours all of them. I started using a 3 lb. Bag of whole carrots cut in chunks around the meat and golden potatoes on the very top, basically as many as I can fit and still close the lid. I use spicy ranch packet too. Dinner is done in one large crockpot.

I’ve partially solved the “TOO SALTY” issue. With the pot roasts and the Cube Steaks recipes that use the Beef Gravy packets, and also the Creamed Soups: All these products are available in a “Low Salt” and/or a “Healthy” version. I use both the McCormicks gravy and the Campbells “cream of” soups in the “low” or “less salt” varieties, and the results are excellent. Thank you for such great recipes Sarah!

I have made this recipe for both the Roast and Skinless Chicken Thighs! It is my go too from now on. Amazing… Wonderful recipe! I can’t use the peppers because of Acid Reflux but it still tastes great! I am sure it is even better with the peppers!

In reply to Debra Sanders. I have not tested it, I apologize, but I think it would do fine if your roast is marbled well, otherwise I would add a splash of broth.

If I cut the recipe in half, will it be okay with only half the liquid as well?

In reply to Bill. I usually cut the net off, it's going to shred anyway.

In reply to Anonymous. If it were me, I would do an onion soup mix (make sure it does not have dairy). Then instead of butter, I would do a can of broth. The meat has so much fat in it, you won't miss the butter.

I made this recipe and my family loved it. They want me to make it again but my GrandSon will be here this time and he is allergic to milk. What can I substitute the Ranch seasoning packet with? Plus I will have to leave the butter out. What do you suggest?

This Mississippi Pot Roast was delicious but I used the Lipton Beefy Onion soup, mix, and added a can of Cream of Mushroom soup as well as 1/4 a cup of unsalted beef broth. I added bite size baby red potatoes and baby carrots about 4 hours in. My chuck roast was about 3 pounds and I had to cook it on low for 13 hours before it was able to be shredded with the forks so next time I will definitely start it earlier.

In reply to I have a weird name.

I think everyone’s crock pot is different because I added by potatoes and carrots about 4 hours in and they were perfect by the time the meat was done and able to be shredded and that was about 13 hours on low.

The best! A friend told me about this and your recipe is easy and delicious. I like a lil extra Flava. So when it’s almost done I add a bit of beef broth and Tony’s Brown Gravy Mix!! Yummy!

This is a good recipe, but please don’t cook your potatoes & carrots for 10 hours. I put mine in about 2 hours before cooking time is over.

In reply to Linda Green. I think it would still work great, I have not tested that though.

I will be trying this today.
Have you ever tried tailed jalapeno slices & juice instead of the pepperoni?
I’m not sure I have any pepperoni.
