Three Packs and a Roast
I love anything that I can cook in my crock pot. I got this good crock pot roast recipe from a good friend. You can throw in some carrots and potatoes if you want. The gravy I made with the juices was excellent too! I actually put the 3 packets and water in a large Ziploc bag with the roast the night before and let it marinate in the fridge overnight. It gave it extra good flavor.
1 beef roast
1/2 envelope Ranch salad dressing mix
1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix
1 envelope brown gravy mix
1 1/2 cups water
1. In a small bowl combine all 3 seasoning mixes.
2. Place roast on a plate. Sprinkle half of the seasoning mixture evenly over roast and pat on like a dry rub.
3. Place roast in crock pot with the seasoned side down. Sprinkle remaining seasoning mixture over roast.
4. Add some vegetables or potatoes, if desired. Pour water over roast.
5. Cover, cook on low 7-9 hours.
If desired, thicken cooking juices for gravy.
Gravy
Remove meat to a warm platter, then strain and skim the fat from the cooking juices. Measure out 2 cups of juices and place in a saucepan. Combine 6 tablespoons flour and 2/3 cup cold water, then add to saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, until the gravy is thickened.
Ingredients: Beef Roast, ranch packet, italian salad dressing packet, brown gravy packet, veggies desired
