it was delicious and my boyfriend just asked me to make it again for the 3rd time..i was afraid to try the vegetables due to the comments but i'm going to try them and see how they come out after the last comment said they were fine

Even though some reviewers said it was too salty, I decided to make it as it was written (FYI the env. of ranch dressing mix I used was 1 oz, the env. of Italian salad dressing mix was 0.7 oz. and the env. of brown gravy mix was 0.87 oz. (The brands I used are well known). After pouring the mixure over the meat, I added cut potates and carrots on top (many reviewers suggested adding these vegetables). IT CAME OUT PERFECT AND NOT SALTY AT ALL! My husband rated it EXCELLENT!

Amazing is all I have to say! I just used a large 5 lb roast instead of the 2 smaller ones. I also threw it in the crock pot frozen and put it on high for about an hour and then down to low for 6 hours and it was great. And don't forget about the gravy it makes! Wow and all of our dinner guests (5 people) loved it too!

very good roast, but mine was VERY salty. I don't know which of the powdered mixes made it so salty, but other then that is was very flavorful. I think the brown gravy mix may have been the culprit.

it was good - but very salty. won't make it this way again because of the sodium content, not because of the flavor.

Oh, yes! Makes Sunday dinner a breeze. I added carrot chunks to make it a full dinner with mashed potatoes. The only criticism I have is the gravy needs to be thicker - maybe adding a tablespoon or so of cornstarch the last half hour would do it. Love this easy recipe!

Roast beef can some times be boring, but not this recipe. Excellent.
