Use Any Leftover Shredded Beef

If you have leftover shredded beef, you can easily transform it into Mississippi pot roast sliders. Simply mix 1 pound of shredded beef with 1 tablespoon of dry ranch seasoning and 1 teaspoon of onion powder for that classic Mississippi pot roast flavor.

Roll Options

You can really use any type of roll. There are so many options at the grocery store, and many of them come in a slab which is perfect for slider making. Use dinner rolls, potato rolls, Hawaiian rolls, or brioche rolls. I’ve got a famous homemade dinner roll recipe that will also be perfect.

Stretching Leftovers

One of the best parts about making a delicious Mississippi pot roast on a Sunday is knowing you can stretch those leftovers into another fantastic meal later in the week without it feeling like it’s “clean out the fridge night” or as we call it “scrounge night.” After enjoying your initial pot roast, store the leftovers in the fridge, and come Tuesday or Wednesday, you’ll have the perfect base for these quick and easy sliders. Leftover pot roast can be safely stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, so you have plenty of time to plan ahead.

Freeze Leftover Shredded Beef

For freezer meal prep, simply place the cooled shredded pot roast in a freezer bag, flatten it out to save space and make it easier to thaw later, and pop it in the freezer. When you’re ready to make the sliders, transfer the bag to the fridge to thaw the night before you want to make the sliders. If the bag is laid flat enough, your beef may thaw within 8 hours so you can pull it out the morning of.
