Three Packet Pot Roast

This delicious recipe uses only 3 packets. Yup just 3. How easy is that? I couldn't believe how easy myself and was a little skeptical at first since my all time favorite pot roast recipe called for more ingredients. But this one is really, really good. I served the gravy over mashed potatoes and had some carrots I cooked separately. It was a big hit here and after trying it yourself you will be making it again for your family too!

Here's the ingredients:
Three Packet Crock Pot Roast and Gravy



    * 1 Beef Roast, any kind, sized to fit your crock pot
    * 1 package Ranch Salad Dressing mix
    * 1 package Italian Salad Dressing mix
    * 1 package Brown Gravy mix
    * 1/2 cup warm water

Place roast in crock pot. In a bowl combine the envelopes of mixes together. Sprinkle on top of the roast. Pour in 1/2 cup warm water. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or until tender. If you have some beef broth or even vegetable stock by all means use that in place of the water.

The gravy is nothing but thickened roast juices. Transfer the pot roast  to a plate and turn your crockpot onto high. Wait a few minutes till it come to a boil. Then whisk a cornstarch and water mixture. (1 Tablespoon cornstarch and 2 Tablespoons of cold water). Make sure to keep it on high to activate the thickening agents of the corn starch. Stir a few times till desired thickness. Serve over pot roast.
