Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipe

I have the best slow cooker pot roast recipe. My family goes crazy over this meal. The meat comes out so delicious and tender that it is practically falling off your fork. Because the recipe calls for different mixes, it is just packed with a fist full of flavor. Plus it takes no time at all to prepare.
I love using my slow cooker because I just throw something together in the morning and forget about it. At about 3 pm when my mind usually starts rolling through all the things I could make for dinner, I suddenly realize dinner is already made and will be done when I walk in the door. Now what could be better than that? It’s a fast, healthy and delicious meal that will practically put itself on the table. I love it!
Here is what you will need for the pot roast.
Ingredients:
- 3-4 lb roast (you can use any kind of roast. I always buy the cheapest which turns out wonderfully)
- 1 pkg. ranch dressing mix
- 1 pkg. brown gravy mix
- 1 pkg. Italian dressing mix
- 1 cup water (enough to just barely cover the roast)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Steps:
Add all of the dry ingredients to the bottom of the slow cooker and add the roast. Cover with water. Remember not to add too much water because the slow cooking process will draw out moisture from the meat. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on the roast. Simmer on low for 8 hours. Or if you don’t have 8 hours, turn on high for 4 hours. When it is done, slice and spoon the drippings over the meat.
Tip: If the meat is not as tender as you would like, you can cook for a bit longer. The longer it sits in the slow cooker, the more tender it gets.
You could add vegetables in with your roast, but I usually don’t to cut down on fat. If you do add vegetables to the slow cooker, add them to the bottom and top with your roast.
This meat is wonderful with mashed potatoes, steamed carrots and rolls. Sometimes I will spoon some of the drippings over the steamed carrots for a little extra flavoring. You could even used left over potatoes or instant to save time.
Other menu suggestions: Baked Beans, Potato Salad, Green Salad, Bakes Potatoes, French Fries or you could serve with anything your family loves to eat.
Rarely are there leftovers at our house, but for the times we do have leftovers, I make sandwiches the next day.
I hope you love this recipe as much as my family does.
