Pot Roast

I used to buy the microwavable packages of roast beef because I have never figured out how to make a decent pot roast. However, I found a recipe on Pinterest for a slow-cooker version and it has become one of our favorite meals.

What you need:
1 3-5 pound Chuck Roast
1 pkg. Ranch powder
1 pkg. Italian dressing powder
1 pkg. Brown gravy mix
1 pkg. Lipton Herb and Garlic mix

Directions:
Place roast in crock pot. Pour packages of dry seasonings over top. Add 2/3 cup of water. Turn temperature to low. Allow to cook for 6-8 hours.

Seriously, it's that easy! Now, if you want vegetables, place 2-3 small potatoes cubed and a package of baby carrots ON THE BOTTOM.....make sure the roast sits on top.

My secret, which was not mentioned on the pinterest site, is to stir the mixture every hour or so (if you're home and able.) It makes the meat better, more evenly coated with the herb mixture.

Try it and tell me what you think!
