The Best Slow Cooker Pot Roast Ever!
....in my humble opinion

INGREDIENTS

1 - 3lb Beef Roast (any kind....Chuck roast, rib roast, etc.)

1 - 1 1/4 ounce package dried brown gravy mix (or 2 small packets)

1 - 1 1/4 ounce package dried Italian salad dressing mix (or 2 small packets)

1 - 1 1/4 ounce package dried ranch dressing mix (or 2 small packets)

1 cup - water

1 - 1 lb bag of peeled baby carrots

1 - 1 lb bag of pearled white onions (peeled)

6 - 8 small red potatoes

5 - garlic cloves


INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pour all of the dried packets into a bowl and mix them together.

2. Peel the garlic cloves and slice them lengthwise once.

3. With a very sharp knife make little slices into the meat and put a half a garlic clove into the little slit all around the roast.

4. Place the roast on a plate and sprinkle the powder mix over all sides of it.

5. Cut the red potatoes into quarters and line the bottom of the slow cooker with the pieces.

6. Pour the bag of baby carrots into the slow cooker evenly over the potatoes.

7. Pour the peeled pearled white onions evenly over the potatoes and carrots.

8. Put the roast into the slow cooker on top of the vegetables.

9. Pour the remaining powder mix over everything in the slow cooker (especially the roast)

10. Pour the water over the roast and vegetables.

11. Cover the slow cooker and cook for 8-10 hours.


I've tried this recipe and it really is fantastic and really easy. Setup is about 5 - 10 minutes and the results are amazing.
