Recipe: 3 Packet Roast

I do not go for pot roast. Never have. I can not make myself like the flavor no matter how it is prepared. Yuck.

But I found this totally easy recipe from someone in my SAHM Meetup group and she raved about how delicious it was. So I thought, what the heck? I'm not a close-minded girl. Maybe this could be a roast that I could tolerate. And even though I accidentally poured in one wrong packet (taco seasoning) and had to spoon it out as best I could, the end result still tickled the taste buds in a good way. I stand corrected. There is at least one version of pot roast I can do. It is as follows:

Three Packets and a Roast

1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing (powder)
1 packet of Italian dressing (powder)
1 packet of Brown Gravy (powder)
1 cup of water
1 roast

Place roast in the slow cooker. Pour packets of seasonings on top. Pour water over that. No mixing needed. Cook on low for 6-7 hours, depending on size of the roast. Add desired veggies for the last two hours.


The resulting gravy was tasty and I may or may not have sopped my petite potatoes in it over and over again. Yum. I even ate the carrots, which I never do. I like my carrots raw. But this, this was tasty. Hope you enjoy it, too.
