When I saw the title for this recipe I wondered if there were roasts for other states, so I checked on a few by searching for “Wyoming Roast” and a few other states. Here are the number of hits I found with each phrase:
Wyoming – 694
Ohio – 1280
Arkansas – 1310
California – 16,100
Most were not recipes. When I looked at Mississippi I found over 123,000.

Rantings of an Amateur Chef 
I’ve been working on my own version of this recipe. Almost all call for the mix-packs of ranch and au jus, but as I never have those around, I have a from-scratch version.
This is a great dish, and versatile, too. I’ve used the meat in everything from omelettes to sandwiches to nachos (ohhhh is it good in nachos!). I brought a pot of it to our latest “game night” with little slider buns and it was gone in about an hour.
