Super Simple Super Delicious Super Pot Roast

This Super Pot Roast is one of the BEST crockpot recipes EVER.  Seriously, it is super simple and ridiculously delicious. I am almost embarrassed how short this post is going to be but if you’re looking for simple meals that impress, this is it.

Ingredients

3 lb Chuck Roast

1 Stick butter

1 Packet Dry Ranch Seasoning

1 Packet Au Jus Gravy Mix

 

Place a 3 lb chuck roast in the crockpot with a stick of butter, packet of dry ranch dressing and packet of Au Jus Gravy Mix. Cook on low for 8 hours or until meat pulls apart with a fork. Shred meat or serve in chunks. That’s it. YOU’RE WELCOME!

Options

Add 3-6 Pepperchinis (I HIGHLY recommend adding these!)

Use Bottom Round or Rump Roast

Make gravy with juice in the crockpot (In a small bowl thoroughly mix 1 Tbl Spoon starch and 1 Tbl Spoon cold water per 1 cup of juice. Add slowly. Wisk together.) The gravy is harder to make than the meal.

Side Ideas

Potatoes

Carrots

Corn

Mac N Cheese

Tips and Trips

Save time and dishes cooking vegetables in the crockpot.

Potatoes or larger vegetables should be on the bottom of crockpot

If cooking vegetables on the side consider sprinkling a pinch of ranch on them also

or toss a small amount of juice from crockpot on them
