The first time I made this meal, Travis practically broke out in applause he loved it so much. And If I could do a back flip I would have in celebration of such an amazing success of a meal. I love roast beef. I love potatoes. ( I don’t think there’s a starch I don’t like!) I love carrots. And this recipe puts all those things together, but it’s not just your normal pot roast recipe. This one is SOOOOO flavorful! It’s one of those meals that makes you want to eat slowly to savor each and every bite. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! So let’s get on with it, shall we?
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Roast, thawed
- Potatoes, chopped
- Carrots, chopped
- Brown gravy mix
- Ranch dressing mix
- Italian dressing mix
You know how Kathie Lee and Hoda do a Favorite Things segment? (I love that show!) Well, one of my favorite things are Crock Pot Liners
Chop up the potatoes. Cut the carrots in half — this is completely optional. I just think if you cut the carrots in half, it seems like you have even more carrots than you have! Plus, they are easier to eat in one bite.
Pour some of the potatoes and carrots into your crock pot. Then set your thawed roast inside. Pour the rest of the potatoes and carrots around the roast.
Now, mix together the three mixes with 1/2 cup of water. Yes, that’s all the water you need! Because the roast will create these amazing juices all on it’s own. Pour the mixture over the roast. Cook for 6 hours on high or 8 hours on low, depending how early you got started that morning!
When it’s all done, I take the roast out and shred it with a knife and fork. It should be pretty easy to pull apart. Cut out any of that icky fat! I’m really picky when it comes to meat. I’m a stickler for making sure there’s no fat before I eat it. I put the shredded roast and veggies into a baking or serving dish. Then I spoon the liquid in the crock pot on top, trying to keep any of the meat’s fat out of the dish.
Like I said before, we LOVE this meal! So juicy, flavorful and healthy!

Making this tomorrow, but forgot to get the crock pot liner. Darn. Oh well. Hope mine is as good as yours was when we visited. I got a great roast last nite and can’t wait to try this recipe!
Hope it turns out great! I bought a roast this week so I can make it again too!
