Savory Pot Roast and Vegetables

Recently, I've become obsessed with my Crock Pot and the delicious recipes that I've managed to create with it. I'm sure I will be adding more than a few slow cooker recipes to this blog!

My longtime friend, Lauren, sent me a recipe for a pot roast that sounded amazing! She had found it online (Pinterest, of course) and said it was delicious. Lauren had added red potatoes to hers and I decided to follow her lead and then throw some more vegetables into the mix...because, rarely do I get a recipe that I don't do something to in order to make it my own. So easy and so good! :)

Enjoy!

Savory Pot Roast and Vegetables

What you'll need:

• Beef Shoulder Pot Roast (approx 2-3 lbs)
• Red Potatoes, quartered (approx 12 potatoes)
• 2-3 Carrots, sliced 
• Small/Medium Red Onion, cut into 8 wedges
• 4 whole, peeled garlic cloves
• 1 packet dry Ranch Dressing mix
• 1 packet dry Zesty Italian Dressing mix
• 1 packet dry Brown Gravy mix
• 1/2 cup water

Directions:

Place the pot roast into a large slow cooker. I use a 6 qt Crock Pot.

In a small bowl, combine the Ranch, Italian and Gravy packets with 1/2 cup of water. Mix well. Pour mixture over the roast.

Add onions, garlic, carrots and potatoes to the slow cooker.

Cover and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours.
