To Die For Roast

[Kayleigh6 0]

I thought I found this recipe on BCB, but when I did a search I couldn't find it. My apologies for not giving proper credit.

 

I made this recipe tonight for dinner. It cooked on low for about 6 hours and it was awesome! I served it with noodles and a salad. Definitely a keeper!

 

To Die For Roast

 

1 pkg ranch dressing mix

1 pkg brown gravy mix

1 pkg Italian dressing mix

1 beef roast

1/2 cup water

 

Cook on low all day

This sounds great! Do you know what the points/servings are? If not I'll just calculate them myself. Thanks!

[Kayleigh6 0]

Loggerlady...the servings would depend on the size of your roast. Unfortunetly, I trashed the envelopes before calculating the points. I'll post the points as soon as I have that information.

 

Do try this one. The 3 envelopes make the most delicious tasting gravy. I thought it sounded rather strange, but the name of this recipe made me try it. I'm so glad I did. It's great!

I made this yesterday and it was wonderful. I was sceptical because of the mixture of seasonings that were added to it but they made it very rich and good. It was a little high in points for my taste, beef has become a luxury anymore, but this is a very good recipe.

this was wonderful! I made it yesterday an the gravy was heaven a little on the salty side but I just upped my water intake for the day! YUM! This is a keeper. Thanks,Donna

Tried this recipe, my family loved it. A very big hit. They ate all of the roast no left overs left.

 

Thankyou

I just made this tonight for dinner,, it was wonderful the meat was so tender and tasty.. I added a little under a cup of water because of people saying it was salty and it was just fine and there was still a gravy.. DH said this was a keeper...Thanks for the recipe a very easy meal to put together

[mochajava 10]

Have made this before, and it was a huge hit! My two teenage sons absolutely loved it. Haven't made it in a long while, thanks for reminding me of it!

[AbbySV 10]

I finally made this and it was great like everyone has said. If any of you have points for this I would appreciate them, as I also threw the packages out already. Oops!

I made this tonight. I had a house full of company. It was very good. I actually put two big roasts in the crockpot, but still used the same number of seasoning packets. Everyone loved it and it was very tender. Two thumbs up.

[Guest Debnicu]

I just put this in Mastercook and came up with 7.3 points per serving. I had the roast at 1 pound and serving 4. Hope this helps.

I may try this using chicken breast and changing the gravy mix to chicken gravy. I pointed that out to be 3.6 points per serving.

I have questions. Did you use an expensive lean roast or will a chuck roast, trimmed of fat be ok? Did you brown the meat first? Do you cut the meat up or put the roast in whole...I am assuming it's whole.

[Guest cgwoolf]

Oh, one more ??. I don't have any "italian seasoning packet or italian dressing mix" do you think a little italian seasoning spice and oregano would produce same results?

[Calypso 10]

I've got this in the CP this morning and it smells wonderful! I added cut up potatoes and baby carrots and used a "beef chuck top blade roast" (3 oz = 7 pts).

 

For those that were interested in the calories for the seasoning packets, they are very low. I used -

 

Good Seasons Italian (8 servings per pkg) - 2.5 g dry mix = 5 c / 0 f

McCormick Brown Gravy Mix (4 servings per pkg) - 1 tbsp dry mix = 20 c / .5 g f

Hidden Valley Original Ranch (16 servings per pkg) - 1.8 g dry mix = 5 c / 0 f

I just came across this post am I sure glad I found it. I have a roast down in the basement freezer that has just been sitting there begging to be cooked. LOL

 

I am headed to the store to pick up the ing. and will be cooking it tommorow. Thanks

[Wannabeahottie 10]

Help I have a question! I'm making this tomorrow and need to know something. Do you only use 1/2 cup water, regardless of how big the roast is? My roast is almost 3 lbs (should it be that big?). Any help would be appreciated because I've never even used a crockpot before Thanks!

[DDawnC 10]

I think you can use considerably more water, if you want to. I used a cup and was very happy with the results. A coworker that I shared the recipe with said she would use a bit more than that the next time, to cut the saltiness. Personally, I don't think 1/2 cup is enough, but you can always taste it near the time you want it done, and add more water if it needs it.

 

To whomever first shared that recipe: Thanks a bunch! It's SOOOO good! I cut slices of roast, laid them on plain pieces of sourdough, toasted it all slightly, and dipped in the (skimmed) sauce. It was nirvana... so I had the same thing again the next night!

[Wannabeahottie 10]

I did make it today, ended up using about 3/4 of a cup and it was so GOOD! Thank you OP!! I can't wait to tell my mom and everyone at work how my first crockpot experience went..............dbf loved it too! Thanks again!

Hottie: WTG! You'll be a slowcooker gournet before you know it.
