I can’t get enough of slow cooker meals. I’m so busy with my kids, working, and just the daily grind of life a homemade dinner can sometimes be hard to get on the table. I love it when I have a simple, yet totally yummy recipe that I just throw in the slow cooker and let it do the cooking for me!

For this amazing roast recipe all you need is three packet seasonings. A packet of Brown gravy mix, Italian Seasoning and Ranch dressing mix. I can’t believe that such simple seasonings could create such flavorful meat. I like to serve ours with creamy mashed potatoes and cooked carrots then drench everything in that dreamy gravy. Yum!

* this easy and tasty recipe
I have this in the crockpot right now and it smells SOOOO yummy it is making my stomach growl. Can’t wait for dinner tonight!
Just had this for dinner– YUM! The kids ate it up and asked for more. This could not have been easier to make and tastes so delicious. Thanks so much for the recipe. I love this blog. Cinnamon roll pancakes for breakfast on Saturday is next up. 🙂
This was absolutely easy & wonderful. I picked up more ingredients to make it again this week. Definitely a keeper! Thank you!
I have made this several times & it is always a hit in my house. I have shared the recipe with others & they have loved it as well. Why couldn’t I think of this!!! Thanks! 🙂
I just put this in the crockpot for supper tonight! I can’t wait!!!
I made this recipe a couple of weeks ago and all I can say it WOW! It’s so easy so you wouldn’t think it would taste this good but it’s delicious! My husband went for seconds!
Could you add potatoes and veggies to the crock pot?
Yes, definitely!
The type of roast definitely makes a difference. I used a fattier roast (my bad for not trimming it) and a thicker roast. Quite soupy. Thankfully I purchased extra gravy packets so I could skim the fat and thicken the gravy. Amazing flavor but I would HIGHLY recommend trimming fat or searing prior to placing in the crockpot. I’ll try this again with a different cut of meat.
I love this recipe, in fact I am going to make this next week end. My Sheltie (SERVICE DOGGIE) EATS HOME COOKED MEALS. Now crappy dog food what they put in that is “SCRAPS” I don’t eat scraps and my baby will not eat it neither. People need to investigate on the computer how dog food id made( hot way and cold way) neither is good for my baby. <3 (love) my baby.
This is a question, but first this looks amazing and oh so easy! My ques is the Ita seasoning packet, is it Good seasons italian seasoning packet? Would like to make next sunday so an answer would be appreciated. Thank you
Yes, its the Good Seasons Italian seasoning. I will update the recipe card with that. 🙂
Made this yesterday for our Sunday dinner and it was so DELICIOUS and so easy to put together. We just had a little bit left and plan on using it tonight to make hot roast beef sandwiches. I have tried many of your recipes and have not had a bad one yet. I want to thank you for sharing all your favor recipes.
Hello! I have ENJOYED so many of your recipes. Well This hit the nail on the head! So FLAVORFUL and so moist. I used low sodium packets and half of the Italian seasoning packet only because I’m on a low sodium diet. Thank you!
I have made this roast many times, it is my family’s favorite. I actually heard about the three packet roast about 10 years ago – i a packet of small red potatoes to save time otherwise, the mashed potatoes are better i believe.
