Ever had Mississippi pot roast?
It’s a family favorite with tender beef, ranch seasoning, and tangy pepperoncini peppers.
But sometimes, I forget to put the meat in the slow cooker or I can’t find a good price on pot roast.
And this Mississippi beef spaghetti is the answer!
It takes the flavors of the beloved slow-cooked roast and turns them into a hearty pasta dinner.
And the whole thing is ready in the amount of time it takes to brown meat and boil pasta and is perfect for busy nights and big appetites.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Ground beef– Lean ground beef is better so it won’t be too greasy.
- Pasta– Spaghetti preferably.
- Beef broth– You can use stock if that’s what you have.
- Ranch dressing mix– Your favorite premade packet or you can make homemade ranch seasoning.
- Au jus gravy mix– Your favorite premade packet.
- Pepperoncini– Both thinly sliced pepperoncini and 1/4 cup of the juice from the jar.
- Butter
How to Make
Mississippi beef spaghetti is so quick and easy to make.
Just cook the pasta per the package directions for ‘al dente’.
While the pasta cooks, cook the ground beef to a large skillet, crumbling it as you cook it.
Let it cook until the meat’s completely browned.
Then strain off all grease, returning the meat to the skillet.
Stir the broth, seasonings, juice, sliced peppers, and butter to the meat until evenly combined.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and gently cook it just until the pasta’s done.
Drain the cooked pasta well, and add it to the meat mixture.
Gently toss everything until together until evenly combined.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the pasta rest for 3-5 minutes.
Give it a good stir, serve warm, and enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 days.
Reheat in the microwave until warmed through.
Tips and Tricks
- Just cook the pasta until it is al dente. Don’t over cook it.
- Do not use thinner pasta than spaghetti. If you use a different pasta, I recommend linguine or a tubular pasta like elbows or penne.
- Top it with Parmesan cheese if desired.
