If you’re looking for a new party snack that’s easy to make and full of flavor, stop scrolling. This Mississippi Pot Roast Dip is about to be your new favorite. It’s creamy, tangy, and just the right amount of salty and zesty. And no, you don’t need an actual pot roast to make it.
It’s not what it sounds like
Despite the name, this dip doesn’t include any meat. But it takes all the flavor of the famous Mississippi Pot Roast and turns it into a rich, addicting chip dip. It’s made with sour cream, mayo, pepperoncini peppers, and those classic seasoning packets that everyone secretly loves.
Let’s talk ingredients
Here’s what you need:
- 16 ounces of sour cream
- 1/2 cup of mayo
- 1 packet of au jus mix
- 1 packet of ranch seasoning
- 3/4 cup chopped pepperoncini peppers (divided)
- 3 tablespoons of brine from the pepperoncini jar
- Potato chips for dipping
That’s it. Super simple.
How to mix it up
Start by stirring together the sour cream, mayo, au jus mix, and ranch seasoning. That combo alone is loaded with flavor. Then fold in most of the chopped peppers and that magical brine. The brine gives the dip a bold, tangy kick that cuts through the richness perfectly.
Spoon it into a bowl, sprinkle the rest of the peppers on top, and pop it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. Grab a bag of thick-cut chips, and you’re good to go.
It’s made for snacking
This dip is the kind of thing that disappears fast. It’s creamy, but the peppers give it bite. It’s familiar, but still feels like something new. People will ask for the recipe. They always do.
You could totally serve it with veggies, but let’s be honest—it’s perfect with a salty, crunchy chip. That combo of creamy dip and crispy chip just works.
Whether you’re hosting game night, showing up to a BBQ, or just need a reason to dip something in something, this recipe is a winner. It’s got flavor, it’s got crunch, and it takes almost no effort. Try it once, and you’ll be making it on repeat.
