Crock pot beef roast

This is the recipe that so far everyone has enjoyed for Pork and/or beef

CROCK POT ROAST TO DIE FOR:

1 (4 -5 lb) beef roast , any kind (your favorite)
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package brown gravy mix , dry
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package dried Italian salad dressing mix
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package ranch dressing mix, dry
1/2 cup water

Directions:

1. Place beef roast in crock pot.
2. Mix the dried mixes together in a bowl and sprinkle over the roast.
3. Pour the water around the roast.
4. Cook on low for 7-9 hours.

I just put the roast in the Crock pot and add a can of dice tomatoes usually the ones that have garlic and onions. If you use the plain just add any spices you like.

A can of rotel's or hatch's tomatos with green chilies (mild or medium hot)
sliced onion
when all that is close to done, add some sliced yellow squash.
serve with rice or corn or beans

That sounds great. Will have to try it soon.

Thanks for all the suggestions and look forward to the 'smells'.

I will also recommend the "Mississippi Roast". It was great.


Here is the link to the recipe that was posted on here a year or so ago.Mississippi Roast

Season roast, brown all sides in a cast iron skillet. Put in some potatoes, carrots, and celery. Put in some beef broth and or water and let cook for 8 hours adding a little more broth or water along the way. You can also add a packet of onion soup mix. Oh yeah, put the crock pot back in the cabinet as you won't need or or want it.

Brown it on all sides.
Sprinkle with a package of onion soup mix.
Spread with one can of whole berry cranberry sauce.
Set it on low for 6-8 hours depending on size of roast, and how hot your crock pot runs.

The soup mix and cranberry sauce makes a nice savory gravy, serve over noodles, potatoes, etc.

To change it up a little use Dr Pepper instead of beef broth. All our friends rave about it.
