Ingredients:
- Top round roast (I've used all different sizes and it doesn't seem to make a difference except in cooking time)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 packet brown gravy mix
- 1 packet Italian dressing mix
- 1/2 packet Ranch dressing mix
- Red potatoes or other small potatoes
- Carrots and any other veggies you like with roast
*optional* Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners - they make clean up so easy!
Directions:
- Mix brown gravy, Italian dressing and Ranch dressing powders together in a bowl
- Take roast out and place it on a plate
- Pat roast all over with combined spices
- Insert crock pot bag if desired
- Put roast and washed vegetables in crock pot
- Pour water on top
- Turn crock pot on low for 4-8 hours depending on the size of the roast. It should pull apart easily when poked with a fork when it's done.
Cookin in the crock pot
All ready to eat!
If you like gravy with your roast, like most normal people, you can make it from the juices.
Gravy
- Skim the fat off the top of the liquid left in the crock pot
- Mix a few spoonfuls of flour or corn starch into about 1/2 cup of water. Make sure its mixed well.
- Pour juices into a sauce pan and bring to a boil
- Add water mixture and stir until thick. Add more flour or cornstarch and water if too thin.
I don't have a picture of the gravy because Brian and I eat ketchup and mustard on roast like wierdos! I have made it before when we've had polite company. : )
Hope you like your roast!
