Keto Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast Recipe
We’ve been making the Mississippi Mud Pot Roast for years and for the most part, it’s keto… Or I should say it’s almost keto or you might call it dirty keto if you use the Ranch seasoning packet that you buy at the store.
Dirty Keto is a term used for those who choose the keto lifestyle but don’t worry too much about the ingredients as long as it meets the macronutrients, it’s all good.
The dry ranch seasoning packets you purchase at the store contain Maltodextrin. That’s an ingredient known to cause inflammation and it certainly doesn’t help if you are battling with insulin resistance.
But, I’m gonna be real honest here. There are sometimes I will grab a ranch season packet from the store and use it in a pinch.
Keto Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Recipe Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Parsley
- 2 teaspoons Dill Weed
- 2 teaspoons Chives
- 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 2 tablespoons Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Pink Himalayan salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 1 packet Tru Lemon or Lime
- Optional Ingredient: 1/2 cup buttermilk powder
Mix all the ingredients together and store in a sealed container. I use a mason jar to store my seasoning.
Note: Buttermilk powder is high in carbs but not when you limit the amount you use. I left the buttermilk powder as an optional ingredient because it will still taste amazing and full of flavor without it. When you divide the buttermilk in the number of servings in this recipe it’s really not that much so you can still use it if you are doing keto. It’s totally up to you.
Or you can just purchase the Ranch seasoning packet from the store if you choose. I noticed they also sell the big jar of Ranch seasoning at Costco too!
This Mississippi Pot Roast recipe is super, duper easy. It’s basically a dump and go recipe. That’s probably why I like it so much. It’s not a new recipe at all. I can remember our family making it back in the day. Everyone makes it a bit different but I’m going to show you how we love to make it.
Keto Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast Recipe Ingredients
- 3 to 4 pound Chuck Roast
- 1 Ranch Seasoning packet (or the homemade Keto recipe above)
- 1 Au Jus Seasoning packet
- 1 – 10 ounce jar of Pepperoncini peppers with the juice, sliced
- 8 tablespoons of butter
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 – 16 ounce bag of Radishes, quartered
- 1 -16 ounce bag of baby carrots
- 4 stalks of celery
Keto Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast Recipe Instructions
- Start by prepping the radishes. You want to slice off the tops and the ends as seen in the photos. Then quarter them.
- Place them in the crockpot first.
- Next, place the baby carrots on top of the radishes. If you choose not to use baby carrots you can use an extra bag of radishes too.
- Place the pot roast on top of the carrots.
- Sprinkle it with pepper.
- Pour the full jar of Pepperoncini peppers with the juice over the pot roast. This will make the pot roast a bit spicy. If you don’t like this much spice you can use banana peppers which are mild in flavor or you can use only 1/2 the jar of Pepperoncini peppers and add 1 more cup of water to the crockpot.
- Sprinkle the ranch seasoning over the roast.
- Sprinkle the Au Jus packet over the roast next.
- Slice the butter into 1-inch cubes and place it over the roast.
- Place the cover on the crockpot and cook it on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 6 to 7 hours.
- If the roast is still tough, it needs to be cooked longer. The roast will be able to easily pull apart using two forks.
- Serve the roast warm with the veggies and the juice! It’s fantastic!
- This recipe is a perfect one-pot meal that won’t leave you with a ton of dishes.
- Enjoy!

Keto Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Recipe Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together and store in a sealed container. I use a mason jar to store my seasoning.
The au jus packet is NOT Keto. It should be in the notes with the buttermilk packet, as it contains the maltodextrin and dextrose. Could you include a substitution please?
I am going to use beef broth
This was fantastic! I did cut back on the peppers because I was afraid it might be too spicy hot for me. I counted out 12 of the pepperoncini and used half cup of the juice from the jar and added a cup of beef broth. Also used my instant pot and pressure cooked rather than slow cooked. But woww the flavor! Will definitely make this again! Thanks for the recipe!
