I found this recipe a few years ago and it has become a favorite of ours. I've passed it on to several people and they, too, have told me it has become a favorite. Yes, it does sound strange, but try it, you'll like it! (I hope)
Put 1/2 cup warm water in the bottom of your crockpot
the put in a beef roast (any kind, any size as long as it will go in your crockpot)
Mix together: 1 envelope brown gravy mix, 1 envelope Italian dressing mix, and one envelope ranch dressing mix
pat it on the top of the roast, cover and let it cook.
I fixed a small bonless chuck roast yesterday, and it is gone today!
Hope you enjoy!

We're going to try this recipe for lunch this coming Sunday. I'll let you know our results! How long did you leave it in the crock pot, on low, or high?
Bonnie, I put it in my large crockpot, and cooked it on high most of the cooking time, as I was late getting it started. I probably cooked it about 4 hrs. This is one of Frank's favorite ways to fix roast. The gravy on it was rather thick. Hope you enjoy it!
mlw
Thanks. I'm anxious to try it.
Bonnie, did you make the roast? What was your reaction?
This coming Sunday Myrna ..this coming Sunday..
I am more anxious to hear how it comes out than Bonnie is to eat it! LOL
Teresa, you're baaaadddd!
You girls are too funny! :laugh: :laugh:
We moved the roast project up a day! We found out we're not having "company" for lunch tomorrow, so we decided we'd fix the roast today. Our roast was pretty good sized, so we (Bob) kept it on low in the crock pot for a little over 8 hours. Keep in mind that the meat we get here isn't anything like as good as the meat you get "back there." However, the roast is very good. It's tender, and the flavor is good. So, if you want something that's maybe a little unusual, try it, I'm sure you will like it!
Thanks, Myrna. the "suspense is over!"
Whew,,,,,(http://www.rightnation.us/forums/style_emoticons/default/heat-2.gif)
I'm glad THAT is over.. I don;t know if I could have slept tonight knowing that roast was simmering in the crock pot.. LOL
Glad it was good and it turned out... ;D
Bonnie, I'm glad you liked it! I just got home today! Have been in Houston for a week taking care of my grandchildren. What fun! Got to see my 4 yr. old granddaughter play T-ball and and my 9 yr old grandson play baseball. He caught 4 innings and played second base on the 5th before the game was called on runs and time. His team won 9-6. Both of my boys were catchers, so I guess he comes by it naturally. My stepgrandson is also a catcher!
Back to the subject of the roast, Frank always thought it was like what the Petroluem Club fixed when we lived in Midland. I just happened to find it one time when I was searching for recipes. I read cookbooks like most people read novels!
My daughter complains about the beef out there, she also says she can only find bone-in hams around Easter and Christmas.
Myrna
I thought you might be gone, I didn't remember for sure when you said you were going down there to stay with the children. It is so much fun to watch them in their activities.
I guess our Easter hams have the bones in them, we get the spiral cut hams, then use the ham bone (with ham left on it) for "ham and beans!" That's the "Kansas Way," isn't it?
Yep!
Same here! ;D
I made this over the week end, and we liked it! A little expensive for the condiment part, I wonder if a reasonable substitute could be used? I'm trying to think of all the flavors involved.
