Crock pot who? Bring the Southern comfort of a Mississippi Pot Roast to North Dakota’s winter wonderland with an amazing twist on this crock pot meal. Typically, a Mississippi pot roast is a combination of 5 simple ingredients all cooked together in a crock pot. Chuck roasts are usually the meat of choice because they are easy to find, but any kind of roast will do! Begin by grabbing your Drip EZ BBQ Prep Tub, your meat of choice, and the Kosmos SPG Rub. Sprinkle on the rub, being very careful not to over season your meat because this is a very salty recipe. Throw the chuck roast directly on your Traeger at 225° super smoke for 3 hours. While the meat is cooking, you can start making the mashed potatoes. 

We recommend peeling about 5 pounds of potatoes, chopping and quartering them for the best results when mashing. Boil the potatoes, adding a little bit of salt, until at a rolling boil. Turn the burner down to a simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes soften up. Add in a All Components & Parts, 1 cup of milk, and a little more salt and pepper. Then, grab a masher and mash to your desired consistency.
