Description

This hearty 3 Packet Pot Roast recipe combines the rich flavors of beef chuck roast with a savory blend of onion soup mix, ranch dressing mix, and brown gravy mix, slow-cooked or oven-braised with carrots and potatoes to create a tender, comforting meal perfect for family gatherings.

Ingredients

Meat

  • 3 lbs beef chuck roast

Mixes

  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 1 packet brown gravy mix

Vegetables

  • 4 medium carrots, chopped
  • 4 medium potatoes (2 red, 2 Yukon gold), quartered

Liquids

  • 1 cup beef broth or water

Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven or Prepare Slow Cooker: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) if you plan to oven-braise, or set your slow cooker to the low setting for slow cooking the roast.
  2. Season the Roast: Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides to enhance its flavor.
  3. Layer the Flavor Packets: In a separate bowl, mix together the onion soup mix, ranch dressing mix, and brown gravy mix. Sprinkle this seasoning blend evenly over the entire surface of the roast.
  4. Add Vegetables: Arrange the chopped carrots and quartered potatoes around the roast, either in the roasting pan or inside the slow cooker, ensuring an even distribution for balanced cooking.
  5. Add Liquid: Pour 1 cup of beef broth or water around the roast to keep the meat moist and to help create a flavorful base for the gravy.
  6. Cook the Roast: Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil or the slow cooker with its lid. Cook in the oven for about 4 hours or on low in the slow cooker for about 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Notes

  • Use beef broth for richer flavor or water for a lighter option.
  • Red and Yukon gold potatoes provide a pleasing mix of textures; feel free to substitute based on preference.
  • Slow cooking option requires a longer cook time but results in very tender meat.
  • Rest the roast for 10 minutes before slicing to keep juices locked in.
  • The seasoning packets simplify flavoring but can be adjusted or replaced with homemade mixes for dietary needs.
