Baked 3 Packet Pot Roast

INGREDIENTS:

1 (3-4 pound) chuck roast

1 packet ranch dressing mix

1 packet Italian dressing mix

1 packet brown gravy mix

1 cup water or beef broth

2 tablespoons olive oil

4-5 big carrots, peeled and chunked

5-6 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered

1 big onion, quartered

DIRECTIONS:

Fire up your oven — 325°F is perfect.

Heat up that olive oil in a big oven-safe pot or Dutch oven.

Salt and pepper your roast like you mean it, then sear it on both sides till it’s got that lovely brown crust.

Pull the roast out, toss your veggies in the pot — swirl ’em around so they soak up that leftover flavor.

Rest the roast right on top of the veggies.

Mix the ranch, Italian, and brown gravy packets with the broth or water. Pour that goodness right over everything.

Cover it up — lid or foil, doesn’t matter — and bake for about 3-4 hours. You’ll know it’s done when your fork goes through the beef like butter.
