I feel really bad when people say they have no time to cook. The crock pot can help you out but only if you use it. Pot roast is easy peasy to throw together. You can get it ready the night before and start cooking it when you leave for work. Dinner will be ready when you come home. Yorkshire pudding only takes 20 minutes to bake if you want something extra special

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 onion
1/4 cup flour
2-3 lb. beef chuck roast
1 pkg dry beef gravy mix
1 pkg ranch dressing mix
2 tablespoons of Italian Dressing mix
1 cup water
2 stalks celery
5 carrots
Potatoes (my grandmother would say one per person and one for the pot)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Slice the onions and place them in a crock pot

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get the beef ready

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dredge the roast with the flour and place into the crock pot on the onions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whisk the gravy mix and ranch dressing mix

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add my italian dressing mix

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measure out a cup of water

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mix the water in the bowl with seasonings. It doesn’t look good yet but this is really yummy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peel/cut the veggies and place around the roast. Then pour over the seasoning mixture and cover. Set the crock pot to low and let cook until the roast is tender and the gravy has thickened (8 hours)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Serve with yorkshire pudding

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is what the gravy looks like without doing anything else to it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The flavor is really good! Pour the gravy over everything including the yorkshire pudding….are you hungry?
