If you have ever had a Mississippi pot roast you know how delicious it is. My goal with this recipe was to make a pot roast sandwich that was as flavorful as a Mississippi pot roast but add a few different ingredients to it.
All this Mississippi pot roast ingredients are there including the pepperoncini peppers, au jus seasoning and ranch seasoning but I added a few things and started my chuck roast out by smoking it and then braising it. The first thing I did before smoking my chuck roast was, I added the Holy Voodoo rub from Meat Church to it. Once the chuck roast was done smoking I added some red onions, poblano peppers and some roasted red peppers along with the au jus and ranch seasoning packets. Once it was done braising I toasted up my sandwich bread and added a layer of pepper jack cheese.
This pot roast sandwich came out amazing!
