Slow Cooker 3-Packet Pot Roast- a tender, flavorful pot roast made with 3 packets: brown gravy mix, Ranch seasoning, and Italian Dressing mix. So much flavor and so easy to make!

Simple Ingredients

The only other ingredients you’ll need besides a packet of brown gravy mix, Ranch seasoning, and Italian dressing mix are a 2 1/2 to 4 pound chuck roast, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. If you don’t want any spice, leave the crushed red pepper flakes out.

Easy Dump and Go Recipe

You can sear the roast first in a pan to give it a little extra flavor, but this step can easily be skipped to save time and reduce dirty dishes.

Tasty Gravy

The packets create a super yummy gravy while the roast cooks. Optional: To thicken the gravy, add a cornstarch slurry to the slow cooker after you remove the pot roast and cook on HIGH for 20 minutes.
How To Serve

Since the roast has a delicious gravy, I like to serve it over mashed potatoes, white rice, or egg noodles. I take 2 forks and shred the meat some so that the gravy really coats it well. Great sides are roasted carrots, green peas, southern-style green beans, creamy mac and cheese, and lima beans.
