Flavorful Pot Roast Recipe

Reviewed on Nov. 06, 2009 by Shonda L.

I have never been much on beef roast, I just didn't like the taste of it. The only use I had for a beef roast was to cook and shred it to make vegetable soup. I have to admit the combination of the dressings just didn't sound like they went with roast, but after reading all the reviews I wanted to try it. Boy am I glad I did!!!!!!!!!!! I was still skeptical even as I mixed the packets together to pour over the meat. But one taste put all skepticism to rest. I made gravy from the juices and it was delicious. I've even thought of other ways I can use this combination of seasonings for other beef dishes. Thanks so much for sharing.

I've made a lot of different pot roast recipes, but this is by far the family favorite. It has so much flavor. It's now the only recipe I use.

This was delicious!!! The meat was so moist and tender, it was falling apart. I added carrots and potatoes in with it and they were just as tasty. This will be a regular on our menu!

DIE FOR CROCK POT ROAST

1 beef roast, large enough to fit in your crockpot
1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
1 pkg. brown gravy mix
1 pkg. Italian dressing mix
1/2 C. warm water

Place roast in crockpot. Mix all three envelopes and
sprinkle on top of roast. Pour water in the bottom of the
crockpot. Cover and cook on low 6 to 7 hours.

Note: Can use half of seasoning packages without
jeopardizing the taste. Also you can add more water at
end for more gravy

Tried this recipe tonight and the gravy was much too salty for me. Will do again but with a low sodium Italian dressing.

Made this tonight for a date.... with some adjustments. I used either top round or bottom round roasts (not sure which.... my butcher cut it for me. I added six chopped smallish red potatoes, 4 carrots cut into 1/2 inch pieces, a sliced stalk of celery and a few Tbsp. Minced garlic and a sliced onion. I added 1/2 cup red cooking wine as well. I also thickened it with a slurry of flour and water. It turned out delicious. The only thing I would do differently is leave out the onion. For some reason, I am not too pleased with the taste of onions in all the slow cooker recipes I have tried. This is delicious though. I sliced up one of the roasts and have it keeping warm in the gravy, and the other I set aside in my fridge.
