There’s no need for flavor packets in this delicious and comforting Mississippi Pot Roast recipe. We amp up the flavors of the roast by adding dried herbs like dill and garlic powder. Meanwhile, pepperoncini juice and peppers give it a bright heat that balances out the rich meat. The jus from the pot roast drippings will add moisture and flavor to the overall roast. Serve it with buttered egg noodles to sop up all that tasty sauce.

This Bolognese features a combination of only two meats, ground beef, and sausage, but it produces superior results and it's even better the next day. It's great to freeze and have on hand for months.
