Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 8 hours
Author Sam - Busy Girl Bites

Ingredients

  • 1 beef pot roast (round roast, bottom roast, or chuck roast will all yield delicious results!)
  • 1 packet dry brown beef gravy mix
  • 1 packet dry Italian dressing mix
  • 1 packet dry Ranch dressing mix
  • 5-6 loose carrots
  • 2 cans whole New potatoes or 4-5 Yukon Gold potatoes (quartered **See note)
  • optional: 1 yellow onion (sliced)
  • 1/3 c water

Instructions

  1. Prep vegetables: wash, peel & dry carrots, quarter potatoes, slice onion (if using).
  2. Prep meat: Rinse meat and pat dry. Sprinkle dressing mixes over the meat and rub in on all sides of the meat.
  3. Add roast to crock pot and cover with vegetables, filling vegetables in around the sides of the meat. Add water, cover and cook on low ~8 hours, stirring occasionally.
  4. Recommendation: to serve, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and dried parsley.

Recipe Notes

Note: if you are using Yukon Gold potatoes, these should be washed, quartered, and added to the crock pot to cook for the full 8 hours. If you are using canned potatoes, add them to the crock pot approximately 1 hour prior to serving and stir so the gravy covers them.
