I didn't have dry salad dressing envelopes in the pantry, so I used bottled Zesty Italian and Ranch dressing -about 1/2 cup apiece, with a jar of savory beef gravy. Carrots in the pot with it and about six and a half hours cook time - only did one potroast of about 3 lbs - just delicious and enough gravy to throw over rice. Great recipe!!

Made it tonight and everyone loved it. It's easy, didnt over or undercook and tasted great. I added some carrots and potatoes about 4 hrs into it. Then from the suggestion of another member, added cornstarch to thicken the liquid to use as gravy.

Great Pot Roast Recipe. Pot Roast is not usually a favorite with my husband & I, but this recipe really appealed to us. Hubby kept complimenting me all night. Very tender, juicy, & tasty! I cooked it with potatoes, onions, & carrots. I also used bit more water, about 3/4 cup. Brought back memories of my Mom's Pot Roast when she made it in a pressure cooker.

Let me get this straight you use 3 packages of mixes but only 1/2 cup of water? That just makes a paste right, it does not seem like that is enough fluid.

Seasonings overpowered the taste of the roast
