I did this tonight. Third time. I love it but would like more gravy when it’s done.

French onion soup

I use a packet of ranch, salt/pepper/garlic, brown gravy mix not Au jus, and a can of french onion soup, that way i'm sure to have enough gravy for rice and gravy.
My kids request it every week.

Works great with pork roast. Did one yesterday.

After a couple of hours I thought it needed a little liquid, which I never add when I do beef, but added one cup of chicken stock.

What cut of pork did you use?

I substituted onion soup mix for the au jus packet. It is truly delicious. Try serving it with hot rolls, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, green beans, and fresh tomatoes from the garden.

Agreed. Lipton Onion Soup mix instead of au jus.
I also add a pound bag of baby carrots and 1-1/2 pounds of baby red potatoes.
Butterbeans or baby limas make a good side too.

I made this pressure cooker Mississippi pot roast recipe last week and it doesn't seem to resemble anything in this thread. Though I could have sworn that I got it from a thread on here recently.

No ranch packet or soup mix or anything. I will say, that it was damn good and the gravy was phenomenal. I added carrots (I have to have carrots with a pot roast).

Ingredients
2 pounds (999g) well marbled chuck roast steak , 2 inches thick
¾ cup (188ml) unsalted chicken stock
1 teaspoon (2.4g) onion powder
1 teaspoon (2.8g) garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon dried or fresh chives
1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
¼ cup (63g) unsalted butter
3 - 5 (45g - 70g) pepperoncini peppers (adjust to your desired level of spiciness)
Kosher salt & fresh ground black pepper to taste
Thickener: 1/4 cup (63g) buttermilk + 2 tablespoons (18g) cornstarch

Instructions

Prepare Instant Pot: Heat up your pressure cooker (Instant Pot: press Sauté button and click Adjust button to go to Sauté More function). Make sure your pot is as hot as it can be when you place the chuck roast in the pot (Instant Pot: wait until the indicator says HOT). This will promote maillard reaction and prevent excessive moisture loss.

Prepare Chuck Roast Steak: Pat dry with a paper towel. When the pressure cooker is hot, lightly season the chuck roast steak with kosher salt and ground black pepper.

Brown Chuck Roast Steak: Add 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil in pressure cooker. Ensure to coat the oil over whole bottom of the pot. Carefully place the seasoned side of chuck roast steak in pressure cooker. Season the other side with salt & black pepper. Brown for 8 mins on each side without constant flipping. Remove and set aside

Deglaze: Pour in ¾ cup (188ml) unsalted chicken stock and completely deglaze bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.

Pressure Cook Pot Roast: Stir in 1 tsp (2.4g) onion powder, 1 tsp (2.8g) garlic powder, 1 tsp dried dill weed, 1 tsp dried parsley flakes, and 1 tsp dried or fresh chives. Mix well.

Partially submerge chuck roast steak and 3 - 5 (45g - 70g) pepperoncini peppers in the cooking liquid. Pour in the meat juice. Layer ¼ cup (63g) unsalted butter on top of the chuck roast steak. Close lid and pressure cook at High Pressure for 45 minutes + Full Natural Release (~roughly 20 minutes). Open the lid carefully. Set aside the Mississippi roast on a serving plate.

Optional Step: Separate the fat with a fat separator.

Thicken Sauce: Press Cancel Button, then Sauté Button to heat up the sauce in the pot. In a glass measuring cup, mix 2 tbsp (18g) cornstarch with ¼ cup (63g) buttermilk and mix it in one third at a time until desired thickness. Taste and adjust the seasoning with kosher salt and black pepper if necessary.

Serve:

I slice an onion to lay on the bottom of the crockpot, along with chunks of carrot. I follow the rest of the general recipe except I use Lipton onion soup mix, stud garlic into the meat, and a few healthy shakes of Lea and Perrins before adding the soup mix/ranch dressing
