Steps:
- - Mix dry mixes thoroughly into water.
- - Place beef in Crock Pot.
- - Cover with gravy and place on lid.
- - Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours until meat is easily pierced by fork.
- - OPTIONAL: Add vegetables after first 3 hours of cooking to avoid them becoming too soft.

- NOTE: Because recipes need exacting amounts it was hard to list the envelope quantities. For clarity, my Italian Dressing envelope was 0.7 (19g) ounce size, My Ranch was 1 ounce (28g) size and my Beef Gravy mix was 0.87 (24g) size. These sizes worked perfectly for flavor and were not over-salty.

EASY CROCK POT BARBECUE ROAST (ONLY 5 INGREDIENTS!)
This is such an easy recipe. I usually throw it in the crock pot but I have made it in the oven as well. I serve it on noodles that I've boiled on the stove in the leftover "sauce". It's a good variation when you're sick of having a basic roast with gravy and mashed potatoes. I hope you like it!

Steps:
- So easy -- just throw the barbecue sauce in a crock pot or in a dutch oven, along with the garlic and soup mix.
- Place the roast in the crock pot or pan and add some water (you can brown the roast if you prefer but it's not needed if you're short on time).
- Cook on low in the crock pot for about 8 hours or on high for 4-5 until it starts to fall apart.
- I usually then take the roast out of the crock pot and pour the remaining liquid into a sauce pan, add a little water and throw some egg noodles into the pan and cook until they are cooked through.
- *If you're going to cook the roast in the oven, I'd suggest cooking it at a low temp all day and I'd check the liquid periodically to make sure it doesn't dry out.

EASY CROCK POT BEEF ROAST
This is going to be one of the easiest Beef Roast you've ever made. This roast is so tender and delicious, yet so simple to make. The flavor of the pepper rings and juice goes right through the roast, and it is so moist, with a mild taste. I received this recipe from a close friend who works in the meat dept. at a local grocery store. When customers ask for a different way to make a roast, they suggest this. The leftovers make the best sandwiches. Be sure you use the Mild pepper rings, and not the Hot. I wouldn't advise adding potatoes or carrots to this recipe. This is one of my husbands favorite, I hope you like it too.

- 2. Pour broth into a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Thicken using about 2 teaspoons of cornstarch mixed with enough milk to make a pourable paste. Add cornstarch mixture to broth a little at a time, whisking constantly. If mixture seems too thin, you may add a little more cornstarch. If too thick, pour in a little milk or water. Continue cooking and whisking until consistency is correct. You may also add salt and pepper to taste.

NIF'S EASY CROCK POT SMOTHERED ROAST BEEF
A really easy dish to throw together. You can use whatever kind of beef roast you want, or try pork. I have honestly never paid attention to what size roast I have used or measured the onions or Worcestershire, but I think that this is close. I will update it if necessary the next time I make it. Serve over mashed potatoes or pasta to catch the sauce. Enjoy!

EASY CROCK POT POT ROAST
This makes a nice dinner to come home to, you can use from a 3-pound to a 5-pound roast for this recipe, don't add any extra salt to this recipe, the seasonings have plenty of added salt to them, and 1/3 cup dry red wine can be added if desired. This is a very good recipe for crock pot roast! Servings are only estimated depending on the size of roast you are using. I prefer to use blade roast but you can use any pot roast you desired even a pork butt roast would would with this!

EASY DELICIOUS CROCK POT ROAST
My family loves this recipe and the hubby always takes the leftovers to work for his friends to finish off! It's so tender and juicy!

Steps:
- 1. Mix the dry ingredients together in a measuring cup. Place the chopped carrots on the bottom of your 5 qt. slow-cooker. Put your roast on top of carrots and pour your liquids over the meat. Put the lid on and cook on low for 6-8 hours. I make gravy after it's all done with the juice. Delish!
- 2. I like to cook at least 6 hours-it really makes for a tender roast. I cook my potatoes separately because my son doesn't like "brown" tates! I think they are better in the crock but oh well! I have used different cuts of beef and they all come out tasty...I love this recipe..it's so easy!
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast is a good option because it is flavorful and relatively inexpensive. Brisket is also a good choice, but it is more expensive.
- Brown the beef before cooking it in the crock pot. This will help to develop flavor and color.
- Use a good quality beef broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the pot roast.
- Add vegetables to the crock pot along with the beef. This will help to make the pot roast more flavorful and nutritious.
- Cook the pot roast on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. This will give the beef time to become tender and fall apart.
- Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
Conclusion:
Pot roast is a classic comfort food that is easy to make in a crock pot. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful pot roast that your family will love. So next time you're looking for an easy and delicious meal, give pot roast a try!
