Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 1 packet Ranch dressing seasoning mix
- 1 packet Brown gravy mix
- 1 packet Italian dressing seasoning mix
- 1 cup Water
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Carrots, peeled and chopped
- 4 medium-sized Red potatoes, quartered
- 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt and pepper if desired.
Place the roast in the bottom of a slow cooker.
In a small bowl, combine the ranch dressing seasoning mix, brown gravy mix, and Italian dressing seasoning mix.
Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the top of the roast.
Add the chopped carrots, quartered red potatoes, and sliced onion around the roast in the slow cooker.
Pour 1 cup of water into the slow cooker, making sure to spread the liquid evenly but without washing off too much of the seasoning.
Place 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter on top of the roast.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, depending on the desired tenderness. Low heat is recommended for best results.
Once the roast is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender, carefully remove the meat and vegetables from the slow cooker.
Serve the roast with the cooked vegetables, spooning some of the savory juice over the top for added flavor.
