I don't think I've ever made crock pot roast the same twice but this one was really good so I decided I would post it so I could remember it next time. Few ingredients for an easy supper. Makes an excellent au jus or gravy. Ingredients:
2 -3 lbs eye of round roast |
1 ounce herb brown gravy mix |
1/2 cup water |
6 red potatoes, quartered |
2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
4 fresh carrots or 15 fresh baby carrots |
Directions:
1. Rinse roast under cool water.
2. Add roast to crock pot.
3. Sprinkle brown gravy mix on and around roast.
4. Add 1/2 cup water around roast.
5. Add quartered potatoes around roast.
6. Sprinkle ranch mix over roast and potatoes.
7. Season potatoes with salt.
8. Set crock pot on high for 3 hours.
9. Cut carrots same size as quartered potatoes or if using baby carrots, use whole. Add carrots and additional 1/2 cup water if you like a thinner gravy or au jus.
10. Change setting to low for 2 more hours.
11. Slice roast on serving platter, surround with veggies.
12. Serve gravy or au jus on the side.
13. *Any cut of roast would probably work, but this is a good, lean cut that doesn't require trimming and also slices nicely. A larger roast may also be used.
14. *Cooking: You can also add the carrots after step 7 and cook on low for 6-8 hours total. The carrots will just be a little softer than the other method.
