CROCK POT MISSISSIPPI POT ROAST

Step 3: Slow Cook to Perfection

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork. You can also cook on high for 4–5 hours, but low and slow gives the best texture.

Step 4: Shred and Serve

Remove any large pieces of fat, then use two forks to shred the roast right in the pot. Mix the meat with the juices and serve warm.
