Slow Cooker Pot Roast Dinner
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 (2 1/2 pound) boneless beef chuck roast
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 (1.2 ounce) package dry beef gravy mix
  • 1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
  • 1 (.7 ounce) package dry Italian-style salad dressing mix
  • 1/2 cup water, or as needed
  • 5 whole peeled carrots
Instructions
1
Preheat your slow cooker by spraying the interior with cooking spray.
2
Next, create a flavorful base by spreading thinly sliced onions evenly across the bottom of the cooker.
3
Dust the surface of a plate or your hands with flour and gently rub it all over the surface of the beef roast, making sure to coat every side.
4
Then, sprinkle a generous amount of salt and pepper over the roast for added flavor.
5
Roll the flour-covered roast in your hands or with a small, sturdy plate to ensure an even coating.
6
Place the seasoned roast on top of the onions in the slow cooker.
7
In a separate bowl, combine the contents of three distinct seasoning packets - beef gravy mix, ranch dressing mix, and Italian dressing mix.
8
Add a sufficient amount of water to the bowl and whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
9
Pour the prepared gravy over the roast, making sure it's evenly coated.
10
Arrange the carrots around the meat in a way that allows them to cook alongside the roast.
11
Once you've completed these steps, cover your slow cooker and set it to Low.
12
Allow the roast to cook for approximately 8 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of tenderness and the gravy has thickened to your liking.
