Once upon a time, there were two mommies who had a passion for cooking and a flare for baking, but had busy schedules. After sharing their passion with friends and family, they decided to venture out in to the world and spread their ideas on easy {yet delicious} meals and tips on how to save time in the kitchen. And they baked happily ever after.

Easy Crockpot Roast

Contributor: Mama Nichole

I love a good roast that makes an excellent golden brown gravy that I can soak up with a cressant roll. I serve this roast with rice but feel free to throw some tators in the mix.

Here's your line up:
3-4lb beef roast of your choice
1 can of french onion soup
1 pack of Ranch dressing powder
1 pack of dry onion soup mix
1 pack of dry Italian dressing mix
1 pack of dry brown gravy mix
bag of pre-cut carrots

Place roast in crockpot, put carrots around roast, pour can of french onion soup around roast. In separate bowl mix the dry ingredients well. Pour over roast. Cook on low for 8 hours. If gravy is too thin thicken it with corn starch.Serve with rice or mash tators and make sure you have some bread to enjoy all that gravy!

TIP: Add about 1/4 cup of soda ( coke, dr. pepper ect) to help tenderize meat when you are short on time and can't cook the meat low and slow.
