Life As The Coats: CROCKPOT BEEF ROAST

Thursday, January 21, 2016

Today I am going to share with y'all one of Matthew's favorite meals, crockpot roast beef!

It is probably one of the easiest meals I can make and my crockpot does all of it. I just fix a few sides to go with it and then it's time to eat! I also use crockpot bags so cleanup is REALLY easy. If you haven't discovered crockpot bags yet then get some the next time you go to the store and you can thank me later!

Ingredients:

- 2-2.5lb beef roast

- 1 package of brown gravy mix, dry

- 1 package of ranch dressing mix, dry

- 1 package of dried Italian salad dressing mix

- 1/2 cup water

Directions:

- Place roast in crockpot

- Pour each package over roast

- Pour water around roast

- Cook on low 8-9 hours

I made this soon after we got married and Matthew has requested it multiple times, so I always make sure to keep those three dry mixes in our pantry. The ranch and Italian dressing mix both come in boxes of 4, and the brown gravy comes in single packs at .50 each. Can't beat that!

I usually fix mashed potatoes, mac & cheese and green beans with this roast, and we always have leftovers for a couple of days- which makes for perfect lunches! Follow along on Snapchat (shelbycoats), I'm usually snapping away while I make dinner, and I love following other bloggers to get dinner ideas.

I had a 2.5 lb. chuck roast. I cooked it on high for 1.5 hours and turned it down to low for the remaining 4 hours and I still had a nice tender juicy roast. Husband love it - especially the gravy.

What if my roast is 4lbs and I only have 6.5 hours?

No, the 1/2 cup has always worked perfectly for us. The roast will shrink a little as it cooks. If your roast was a little bigger then you might want to adjust your water. Hope this helps, enjoy!! :)

We add carrots, potatoes, turnip and parsnip with more water and it’s awesome. The veggies pick up so much of the flavor.

How much water did you add? And did you put the veggies around the roast or underneath it?

I always use my pressure cooker for my pot roast. Brown roast first in your pressure cooker. Then add 1 packet brown gravy mix, 1 packet Ranch dressing, 1 packet Italian dressing, 1/2 cup red wine, 1/2 cup water or beef broth. Put lid on and pressure cook it for 55 min. Quick release then take out roast - put in potatoes, carrots and then put roast on top. Put lid back on and pressure cook for another 10 min. Quick release then take out everything and make gravy....DELISH!!!! and so easy.
