Three Packet Slow Cooker Roast
This dish serves beautifully with a side of mashed potatoes or fresh vegetables, making it a well-rounded meal for the whole family.
Ingredients:
- 3-4 pounds of beef roast (chuck roast works well)
- 1 packet of ranch dressing mix
- 1 packet of Italian dressing mix
- 1 packet of brown gravy mix
- 1 cup of beef broth or water
- 4-5 medium-sized potatoes, quartered
- 4-5 carrots, cut into chunks
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Start by searing the beef roast in a hot skillet for a few minutes on each side. This step adds a rich flavor to the final dish, but it’s optional if you’re short on time.
- Place the quartered potatoes and carrot chunks in the bottom of the slow cooker. These veggies will soak up all the wonderful juices from the roast.
- With the vegetables in place, sprinkle the ranch dressing mix, Italian dressing mix, and brown gravy mix evenly over the roast. You can adjust the amounts based on your taste preference.
- Pour the beef broth or water around the roast carefully to avoid washing off the seasoning mixture.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to low for about 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours. The long cook time on low will guarantee a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Once the cooking time is up, check the tenderness of the roast. If it’s done to your liking, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Don’t forget to spoon some of those delicious juices over the sliced roast before serving! It adds so much flavor to your meal.
