Instant Pot Mississippi Pork

So far I have made the classic Mississippi Pot Roast as well as Mississippi Chicken in the Instant Pot. They are both incredible! I decided to try it with a pork butt, also called pork shoulder. We had the best pulled pork from it!

The original Mississippi Pot Roast was created by Robin Chapman over 20 years ago, and its popularity has skyrocketed! People just love the flavors in this recipe.

You can make it in the slow cooker, in the oven, and in the pressure cooker (see my recipes below).

I Made Mississippi Pot Roast and it was pretty Salty

Yes, that is the biggest complaint about the original recipe. I have some tips to lessen the salt:

  • Use Unsalted Butter.
  • Try to find Low Sodium Ranch and/or Au Jus.
  • Try my Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix recipe. It’s Low Sodium.
  • Add a few cut up potatoes to the pot and cook with the roast
  • Add a little water to the drippings if too salty. Taste first and adjust.

What is Instant Pot Mississippi Pork Good on?

There are many ways to enjoy this flavorful pork roast! Here are a few suggestions:

  • Serve over Mashed Potatoes.
  • Serve over Rice.
  • Pull (shred) the pork and serve on buns.
  • Cut into chunks and serve alongside veggies or a salad.

  7. Add the meat back into the gravy.

  8. Serve over mashed potatoes, over rice, or on a bun as a pulled pork sandwich.

    Hi Sandy! I’ve tried your recipe for Mississippi pot roast using beef and LOVE it. Was going to make it again today but saw that pork shoulder is on sale $1.49/lb so decided will try using pork instead. I usually brown the beef chuck…ok to do that with the pork or should I skip that step?

      You can do it either way. Browning always adds more flavor, but it will be delicious either way!
