Wild Game Mississippi Pot Roast

Mississippi Pot Roast.
The name invokes a sense of Sunday afternoons, porch swings and sweet tea.

The recipe has a rich story of its own, being passed from hand to hand through families, friends and acquaintances, eventually becoming such an internet sensation that it was even featured in the NY Times.


This iconic recipe all started in Mississippi when a woman slightly altered a recipe that originated from her aunt and served it to a friend.  From there, it made its way through another set of hands, into a church cookbook. This was just the beginning of the road this recipe would travel, starting as simply ‘roast’ and eventually becoming the beloved “Mississippi Pot Roast” that has made its way into nearly every woman’s slow cooker across the country.
It is not a complicated recipe, using few ingredients and taking very little time, yet pleasing to all and giving the feel of a meal that took all day to make.
It is perfect for the busy family, or the one that wants to come home to a warm, home cooked meal after being gone all day.

It is excellent using game meat, in that it produces a very flavorful, moist meat that nobody can resist.

Here we take the basic version, add a few vegetables and pair it with a quick and easy homemade biscuit and you will have a dinner worthy of the ‘southern stamp of approval.’
