Slow Cooker 3-Packet Pot Roast

Servings: 6–8

Looking for a no-fuss, flavorful dinner that practically makes itself? This slow cooker pot roast is the ultimate comfort food—tender, juicy, and bursting with savory goodness. Just a few pantry staples and a trusty slow cooker are all you need. Serve it over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or roasted veggies for a hearty, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 3 to 4-pound chuck roast
• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
• 1 packet Italian dressing mix
• 1 packet brown gravy mix
• 1 cup water
• Optional: chopped carrots, potatoes, or onions

Instructions

1. Place the roast: Set the chuck roast in the bottom of your slow cooker.
2. Season: Sprinkle the ranch, Italian, and brown gravy seasoning mixes evenly over the top.
3. Add water: Pour the water around the roast—this helps distribute flavor while keeping the seasonings in place.
4. Add veggies (optional): If using, arrange chopped carrots, potatoes, or onions around the roast.
5. Slow cook: Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until the meat is fall-apart tender.
6. Shred and stir: Use two forks to shred the roast directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the flavorful juices.

Serving Suggestion

Spoon the roast and its savory juices over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or oven-roasted vegetables. It’s comfort food at its finest.
