Triple Envelope Pot Roast Delight
Ingredients:
- 3-pound pot roast
- 1 envelope dry ranch dressing
- 1 envelope dry Italian dressing
- 1 envelope brown gravy
- 1 cup water
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 bag baby carrots
- 1 bag baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Roast:
- Pat the pot roast dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine the dry ranch dressing, dry Italian dressing, and brown gravy envelopes.
- Rub the combined seasoning mixture evenly over the pot roast, ensuring it is well-coated on all sides.
- Create the Cooking Base:
- In a separate bowl, mix the combined seasoning with 1 cup of water until it forms a smooth liquid.
- Layer the Vegetables:
- Place the sliced onion on the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Add the baby carrots and halved baby Yukon gold potatoes on top of the onions.
- Place the Pot Roast:
- Carefully place the seasoned pot roast on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
- Add Cooking Liquid:
- Pour the seasoning and water mixture over the pot roast and vegetables, ensuring an even distribution.
- Season and Set the Slow Cooker:
- Season the vegetables and pot roast with salt and pepper to taste.
- Set the slow cooker on high and cook for 5 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- Reduce Heat:
- After 5 hours, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for an additional hour. This will help the pot roast become tender and juicy.
- Check for Doneness:
- Test the pot roast for doneness by using a fork to see if it easily shreds. If not, continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the pot roast is tender and fully cooked, carefully remove it from the slow cooker.
- Slice the pot roast against the grain and serve it with the deliciously seasoned vegetables.
- Optional: Gravy
- If desired, use the cooking liquid as a base for a flavorful gravy. Simply transfer the liquid to a saucepan, bring it to a simmer, and thicken with a cornstarch slurry.
This Triple Envelope Pot Roast Delight is sure to be a hit at the dinner table, with a perfect balance of savory flavors and tender textures. Enjoy your delicious and easy-to-make dinner!
