A famous YouTube chef tried a beloved Mississippi recipe. The video went viral in hours.
A popular YouTube and Facebook chef cooked up a beloved Mississippi recipe for her followers, and the video garnered millions of views in just hours after it was published Tuesday.
Emmymade, a content creator based in Rhode Island who is known for cooking viral recipes and trying military ration meals from around the world — including the MRE meals from the U.S. — made a Mississippi pot roast and published the video on her Facebook page.
The crock pot recipe is just five ingredients: roast, pepperoncini peppers and juice, an au jus pack, a packet of ranch dressing seasoning and a stick of butter.
Emmy cooked the roast for about 8 hours before giving it a try.
“It’s pretty interesting looking,” she said. “I think it’s going to be good.”
The viral cooking star, who also travels to Japan frequently and tries cuisine there for her followers, said the roast was fork-tender and delicious.
“It’s really good,” she said, adding that it would be best served over potatoes or rice.
The Mississippi pot roast video has accumulated more than 16 million views on Facebook by Wednesday morning.
Emmymade’s YouTube page has more than 2.7 million subscribers.
