What exactly is Mississippi Pot Roast?

Mississippi Pot Roast is a popular slow-cooker dish made with beef roast, ranch seasoning, au jus gravy mix, butter, and pepperoncini peppers. It creates tender, flavorful meat that's perfect for these sliders. If you don't have leftover Mississippi pot roast specifically, you can doctor up regular shredded beef with ranch seasoning and onion powder as noted in the recipe.

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can assemble the sliders up to 24 hours ahead, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Just wait to add the garlic butter until right before baking, and you might need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they're cold from the refrigerator.

What sides go well with these sliders?

These sliders pair beautifully with simple sides like coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans, or a fresh green salad. For a more substantial meal, serve with sweet potato fries or a cup of tomato soup.

Can I use store-bought dinner rolls instead of slider buns?

Yes! Hawaiian rolls, dinner rolls, or any small, soft buns will work well for this recipe. The key is finding rolls that stay connected when sliced, making assembly easier.

Instructions

Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to ensure the sliders don’t stick.
Prepare the Slider Rolls
Using a serrated knife, slice the slider rolls in half lengthwise, creating two slabs (a top and bottom layer). Place the bottom slab in the greased baking pan.
Layer the Ingredients
Begin layering by placing half of the Provolone cheese slices on the bottom slab. Next, evenly spread the leftover Mississippi pot roast on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the banana pepper rings across the meat layer, then add the remaining Provolone cheese on top. Place the top slab of rolls onto the layered meat and cheese.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup melted salted butter, 1 tablespoon finely minced onion, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Stir until well combined.
Brush and Bake
Using a pastry brush, generously coat the tops of the slider rolls with the garlic butter sauce. Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Finish Baking
Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are golden and the cheese is fully melted. Serve the sliders hot from the oven.

Notes

These sliders pair amazingly well with leftover pot roast au jus for dipping. If you have any juices from the pot roast left, use them to elevate the dish further.
If you don’t already have Mississippi pot roast, you can create a substitute by combining shredded beef with 1 tablespoon of dry ranch seasoning and 1 teaspoon of onion powder.
