Ingredients

• 3–4 lb beef chuck roast

• 1 packet onion soup mix (Lipton-style)

• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (or 2 tbsp homemade)

• 1 packet brown gravy mix

• 1 cup beef broth (or water)

• 4–5 medium potatoes, cut into large chunks

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crockpot
   Place potatoes, carrots, and onion in the bottom of the slow cooker to create a flavorful bed for the roast.

2. Season the Roast
   Sprinkle salt and pepper on all sides of the beef roast.
   Set it on top of the vegetables.

3. Add the Flavor Packets
   Sprinkle the onion soup mix, ranch seasoning, and brown gravy mix directly over the roast.

4. Pour in the Liquid
   Add 1 cup beef broth around the sides of the roast (not on top so the seasonings stay on the meat).

5. Optional: Add Butter
   Place 2 tablespoons of butter on top of the roast for extra flavor.

6. Cook

   • Low for 8–10 hours (best, most tender), or

   • High for 4–5 hours

   The roast should fall apart easily with a fork when done.

7. Serve
   Remove roast and vegetables. Shred or slice the beef.
   Spoon some of the slow cooker gravy over the top.

OTHER RECIPES

Crockpot INGREDIENTS

• 1 beef roast
• 1 envelope onion soup mix
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup (optional)
• 1 can of soda

Crockpot INSTRUCTION

I used Sprite for the soda. I've read about people using Coke and GingerAle as well. 

This was fantastic! 

I served it with plain white rice but it would also be good with egg noodles or mashed potatoes to soak up the "gravy" like juice.
