Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 cups chopped and peeled potatoes (1 – 1 1/2 inches in size, about 4 potatoes)
- 3 cups chopped and peeled carrots (1 1/2 – 2 inches in size, about 6 carrots)
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1/2 onion)
Seasoning Mixes
- 1.0 oz Hidden Valley Ranch Mix
- 0.87 oz McCormick Brown Gravy Mix
- 0.7 oz Italian Dressing Mix
Other
- 2 cups warm water
- 3 lb beef chuck roast
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Peel and chop the potatoes into 1 to 1 1/2 inch chunks, carrots into 1 1/2 to 2 inch pieces, and dice the yellow onion. Spread these evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Make Seasoning Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Hidden Valley Ranch Mix, McCormick Brown Gravy Mix, and Italian Dressing Mix with 2 cups of warm water. Stir thoroughly until all powders are dissolved and the mixture is well blended.
- Add Roast and Seasoning: Place the 3 lb beef chuck roast directly on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker. Pour the prepared seasoning mixture evenly over the surface of the roast.
- Cook the Roast: Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook on the low setting for 7 to 8 hours, or alternatively on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the roast is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the pot roast alongside the vegetables. Optionally, prepare a homemade gravy using the cooking juices for added flavor.
Notes
- For best results, use a well-marbled beef chuck roast for tenderness and flavor.
- Adjust cooking times based on your slow cooker model as heat levels may vary.
- Make sure vegetables are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking.
- Reserve some cooking juices to make a delicious gravy if desired.
- This recipe pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
