The Best and Easiest Crockpot Roast I Have Ever Made

I don't think I've ever posted a recipe before, but this one is definitely post worthy.  I got this recipe from a link to picture on Pinterest.  I don't even have the original blog site to credit the idea to.  It is so amazingly easy and delicious.

Here's what you need:

Zesty Italian Dressing Mix

Ranch Dressing Mix

Brown Gravy Mix

For the brown gravy, I got our grocery store's generic, low sodium version.  I was actually a little worried about the sodium content, thinking the roast would be too salty, but it was perfect.

1-2 pounds of your favorite roast

I used about 1.3 pounds of my favorite roast, the chuck roast.  As long as you cook it long enough, the marbling will dissolve, making the meat incredibly moist and tender.  TIP:  If your roast is tough, you haven't cooked it long enough!  Most people, including myself, always thought that it was over cooked when it was tough.

Directions:

1. Gather all ingredients.  
2. Place the roast in your crock pot on low heat.  (Use low, people.  The low and slow method for roasts really is the best, in my opinion).  
3. Dump contents of all packets over meat.  
4. Pour water over beef until just covered.  
5. After, I poured the water over the beef, I grabbed a spoon and stirred the packet contents together, making sure to make a slight paste over the beef, to seal in flavor.  
6. Let it do it's thing for the next 8 hours at least.  No joke, I cooked mine on low for 12, and it was perfect.
1. You can also add vegetables to your roast, which we did.  I love baby carrots and new potatoes (quartered), so I added those with about 5 hours left of cook time.  Mushrooms would also be good.
7. DEVOUR!!!
