Crockpot Pot Roast

Ingredients:
 - 1 (4-5 lb) beef roast - Any kind will do, but I used sirloin because it was the leanest.
 - 1 package brown gravy mix
 - 1 package Italian salad dressing mix
 - 1 package ranch dressing mix
 - 1-1.5 cups water
 - red potatoes, carrots, & onions (cut up, but not cooked)

Instructions:

Add vegetables to the bottom of the crockpot.  Place beef roast in crock pot. (I sort of made a nest of the veggies.) Mix the dry mixes together in a bowl with 1 cup of water and sprinkle that over the roast.  Pour extra water around the roast, if desired. (I did.)  Cook on low for 7-9 hours.


This was the first pot roast I ever attempted, and it was divine!  The meat is so tender is just pulls apart, and the veggies are super flavorful. I made mine without onions (because husband hates them), but I think it would have been even better with them in there!  So good that husband wanted to know what to do with the leftover juice on his plate. Not understanding, I told him to wash it down the drain. He looked kind of horrified, and said, "But it's too good not to do SOMETHING with it!"  That means this recipe was a real winner with that cute man of mine.  Good thing, too, because we're eating the leftovers tonight.
