Three Envelope Pot Roast

From Real Mom Kitchen via Steph's Kitchen

3 pound beef roast (such as chuck roast)
1 envelope of dry Italian salad dressing mix
1 envelope of dry ranch salad dressing mix
1 envelope of dry brown gravy mix
2 cups water

Put the water in a measuring cup that is larger then the amount of water you are using. Now add and mix all three envelopes of dry salad dressings to the water. Mix until blended completely. Brown the roast (if desired). Add the meat to your cooker. Pour the water, salad dressing mixture over the roast. In the slow cooker cook it on high for about 4 hours on low about 8 hours. Remember to make gravy from the drippings in the crock pot by adding water, beef bullion and thickening using water and cornstarch! It's the best gravy I have ever had and I love love love gravy!

**Notes From Em**
For some reason I really struggled to get a good, moist, crock-pot pot roast, until I found this recipe. It's AMAZING every time, and so ridiculously simple. If you want to add potatoes, carrots and onion to your pot roast, and I recommend you do, just cut them up into fairly large pieces, and toss them in about 2 hours before you are ready to eat. You can use a turkey baster to get some of the gravy on your veggies when you put them in. It's impractical to try and 'stir' a pot roast.
