To Die For Crock Pot Roast

Overview: This Chuck Roast or Pot Roast takes between 6 - 7 hours on the "low" setting to cook. I would suggest making it in the morning and eating it for dinner. Most Crockpots today have a "warm" setting that it will automatically change to when the timer has ended. If you like meat and potatoes then you are going to love this.

Tasty Tip: In order to seal in the juices of the meat better, before you place your roast in the crock pot, lightly brown all the meat by placing a skillet on the stove and turning the heat between 8 and 10 or very close to high. Let the skillet warm up and then place each side of the meat on the skillet for less than 10 seconds to lightly brown it.

Combine 1 package of brown gravy mix, 1 package of Italian dressing mix and 1 package of Ranch dressing mix into a small bowl and mix them together.


Place your roast in the crock pot and sprinkle all of the powder onto and around the roast. Then pour 1 cup of water into the crock pot but don't pour it on top of the roast or else you will wash away the powder. Cook the roast for 4.5 - 5 hours on low heat.

Cut up a few carrots, a few pieces of celery, and a few potatoes to place in the crock pot. Once the timer has dinged after 4.5 - 5 hours, add in carrots, celery, and potatoes and cook them all together on low for 1 hour.

Here it is in all its glory with some homemade wheat bread and homemade strawberry jam. It DOES NOT get any better than this!
