There’s something so comforting about a good pot roast, especially one you can toss together in minutes and let it work its magic all afternoon. This easy three-packet version has been a cozy staple in my kitchen for years. It’s wonderfully tender, full of rich, savory flavor, and perfect spooned over creamy mashed potatoes or a bed of warm rice after a long day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix (1 ounce)
- 1 packet dry Italian-style dressing mix (.7 ounce)
- 1 packet dry brown gravy mix (.75 ounce)
- 1 boneless beef chuck roast, about 3 pounds
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients so they’re ready to go.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the water, ranch mix, Italian dressing mix, and brown gravy mix until everything dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
- Nestle the chuck roast into your slow cooker and pour the seasoned mixture right over the top, making sure the meat is well-coated.
- Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the roast is tender enough to pull apart with a fork.
