An Easy Crockpot Dinner Recipe For The Family
I absolutely love slow cooker dinner recipes that just require a handful of ingredients. Perfect for busy moms and dads! It’s so convenient to toss everything in the crockpot in the morning, and then when dinner arrives, that’s all you have to do is eat! I honestly don’t know how I’d survive without this miracle appliance.
This is an easy dinner recipe that you really can’t mess up. As long as you cook the pot roast slow and low, it turns out tender every time, and the combination of these 3 seasoning mixes makes for the best flavor, EVER.
Onion soup mix is also a popular seasoning for pot roast, so you can definitely use that in place of the ranch seasoning mix if you’d like.
1. Start off by placing a 3-5 pound roast into your slow cooker with about 1.5 cups of water (you can also add in a little red wine if you happen to have a bottle open).
2. Mix all of your seasoning packets together and then pour it over the top of your beef roast.
3. Cook on low for 5-6 hours and then add your veggies.
4. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 hours or until the meat falls apart easily.
That’s it! This easy pot roast is absolutely delicious! Everything including the veggies just melt in your mouth. I usually serve it with dinner rolls, and then a few glasses of wine for myself. It’s absolutely heavenly, especially in the cold winter months when you’re craving a hot meal.
