Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipe with Optional Vegetables

Looking for easy Crock Pot dinner recipes for the family? This simple pot roast is absolutely incredible. Just 4 ingredients: beef roast, ranch seasoning, Italian seasoning & brown gravy mix! I also like to make it with carrots and celery and serving the shredded beef over mashed potatoes, but you can add any veggies that you like.

PREP TIME: 10 minutes

COOK TIME: 8 hours

TOTAL TIME: 8 hours 10 minutes

SERVINGS 6 servings

INGREDIENTS:

1 (3-5 pound) Beef Roast (any cut)

1 1/2 cups Water

1 (1 ounce) packet Brown Gravy Mix

1 (1 ounce) packet Italian Salad Dressing Mix

1 (1 ounce) packet Ranch Dressing Mix

Vegetables Of Your Choice (I prefer potatoes, carrots and celery)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Place your beef roast into your slow cooker.

4. Pour the water over the seasoning on the roast.

5. Cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the beef easily pulls apart.

RECIPE NOTES:

**The size of the seasoning packets don't have to be exact. Some of them are just over an ounce, and some of them are just under (depending on the brand).

**You can also replace half of the water with Red Wine if you happen to have a bottle open.

**French Onion Soup Mix is also a popular seasoning for pot roast and can be used in place of the Ranch Dressing Mix.
