Flavorful Pot Roast Recipe

Reviewed on Apr. 24, 2013 by c_capobianco

I changed up the seasoning a little based on what I had in the pantry. I used 1 packet of mushroom gravy mix, 1 pack of ranch seasoning, and 1 packet of Lipton's Onion Mushroom soup mix. I also added potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion on top of the roast. It was fantastic!!! I will definitely be making it again. It was so easy and it tastes delicious.

The best roast I have ever had. I have made it 3 times now. I did have to adjust the ingredients for 2, and it is still wonderful.

Taste great but only cooked chuck roast for 5 hours on low.

AMAZING! I used only one chuck roast since there's only 2 of us and omitted the ranch, just because I was a cheapskate at the store. Definitely worth making.

This was so easy and tasted pretty good, although it seemed a little too salty. I too, put potatoes, carrots and some onion on the bottom.

This pot raost was amazing!!! It was so tender and FLAVORFUL! I also thickened the juices to make the gravy. My family of 4 was sad to find out there wasn't enough for seconds. I will double the amount of chuck roast next time for sure, so there is enough for seconds. I added carrots, potatos and onion to mine! Mm. Mm. MMMmm!

Very good. A little on the tangy side from the Italian dressing, which I enjoy, but if you have family members who do not just use a half a packet or less of Italian dressing. I usually uuse a 4 pound roast so I just do two of Ranch, 2 of brown gravy, and 1 of italian dressing in a cup of water. When i thinken the juices for gravy I just add some corn starch or flour to some cold waterbefore I mixit in to the juices to avoid lumps. The best part is it is so easy yet tastes so good.

My family said this was the best roast I have ever made! I used a 3.5 lb roast and layered onions, carrots and new potatoes (cut in half) underneath the meat. For me, it took the full cooking time.

I sprinkled the roast with salt and pepper, then rolled in flour and put on top of carrots, onion, and a potato and let sit on low for 10 hours. Great recipe!

Love this recipe! I add potatoes on the bottom of the slow cooker and then chopped onions and whole baby carrots. I use two of each dressing mix and gravy mix and pour on top of all the beef, carrots, and potatoes; and let it cook for 8-10 hrs. This makes a quick and easy Sunday dinner =)

So easy and delicious! The meat was incredibly tender! I didn't have brown gravy mix so I just stirred beef bullion and cornstarch into the water.

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.

This recipe definitely lives up to its name. However i'd like to try it with sirloin tips next time. I did add a normandy veggie mix to this towards the end of cooking. I served it with loaded mashed potatoes and the fam loved it

The flavor was very very good but I over cooked it :( 6 hours in my slow cooker was to long. Would have been very yummy with mashed potatoes!

My whole family LOVES this recipe! I make it at least once a month. I add either baby carrots or chunks of carrots to it...that's my favorite part! I let the carrots cook the entire. @popnmim...you can add potatoes, too, but I prefer to make creamed potatoes to go with it. : )

I agree with Carrie -- I won't make roast any other way! I cut the recipe in half for my family and save the other half of the dressing and sauce mixes in a Ziploc bag so they'll be ready for the next time!

Although this is delicious just the way it's shown, I find we like it even better with a can of cream of mushroom soup stirred into the sauce. This increases the gravy and gives it a nice creamy texture. It has a delicious flavor prepared this way.
