3 Packet Pot Roast

Hey y'all! So this morning I put a roast in the crock pot! Have I mentioned I love my crock pot? I don't think I've ever cooked or used it this much! I'm gonna have to get me a pretty one so that when it sits on the counter, it looks good! :P

I used to buy the pre-packaged roasts from Kroger that came with a seasoning packet and the meat and potatoes and carrots but the hubs wasn't too fond of the flavor. He said the packet made it taste weird and when I went to the store, my lazy butt couldn't find a pre-packaged roast to buy so I settled for the real thing. And I'm glad I did,

Anyway so I kept hearing about this 3 packet roast and I'm all about the less is more theory when it comes to ingredients so I decided to try it!

^^^^ Pardon the pic, I was putting the leftovers away and realized I didn't take a picture! haha

Here's what you need:
A big hunk of roast (I used shoulder roast)
Baby Carrots (I think I threw half the bag in there)
Potatoes ( I used baby reds and I quartered about 8 or so)


Here comes the yummy yet easy part:
1 packet of Brown Gravy mix
1 packet of Ranch Dressing Mix
1 packet of Italian seasoning mix

Place the potatoes and carrots in the bottom of the crock
Season the roast to your liking (I just rubbed some season all, garlic salt and pepper on it)
and place it on top of the veggies in the crock pot.

In a bowl, mix all three packets of seasonings with 1 cup of chicken broth or beef broth (I used chicken - you could use water but the broth gave it waaay more flavor)

and pour the mixture over the roast.

Cover and cook on low for 5 hours and then high for 3.

Enjoy! Simple and So so good! The kids didn't even waste tonight which means either I starved them all day or they actually liked it! LOL

This will definitely be making the rounds in our menu!
