Notes

I used my 6 quart oval Kitchenaid slow cooker.*

Roast–there are lots of types of roasts out there. However, for this slow cooker Mississippi Roast gyros recipe I recommend using a chuck roast or a cross rib roast. Luckily these cuts of meat seem to go on sale every month or so. I find mine usually at Kroger for about 2.99-3.99 per pound.

Better than Bouillon–I have really come to love and appreciate Better than Bouillon products* lately. I used the beef base in this recipe. I buy mine in a large container at Costco and it stays good in my fridge for a very long time.

Pepperoncinis–you can find these small pickled yellow/green peppers next to the pickles. They do add a bit of spice to the dish but it is not overwhelming. My 9-year-old ate the roast with no problems.
