Pot Roast Sunday

We originally made this in October, 2011.  It's a keeper and it's cooking right now.

    1 (4 -5 lb) beef roast, any kind
    1 (1 1/4 ounce) package brown gravy mix, dry
    1 (1 1/4 ounce) package dried Italian salad dressing mix
    1 (1 1/4 ounce) package ranch dressing mix, dry
    1/2 cup water  (we used beef broth)

Directions:
    1   Place beef roast in crock pot.
    2.  Mix the dried mixes together in a bowl and sprinkle over the roast.
    3.  Pour the water around the roast.
    4.  Cook on low for 7-9 hours.

Cooks notes.

I am a tweaker.  Instead of water, used beef broth.  We added vegetables - potatoes, celery, and carrots and add them in after the the beef has cooked for about two hours.   About 4 hours into the cooking, we add some beef broth. 

It was delicious.  Meat was delectable and the veggies, just right.  Hmmmm....  help yourself.
