Ingredients Method

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 large carrots peeled and cut into chunks
  • 5 –6 medium potatoes peeled and quartered
  • 1 large onion quartered
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preheat the oven:
  1. Set your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Sear the roast:
  1. In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear it for 3–4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the roast and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables:
  1. Add the carrots, potatoes, and onion to the pot, stirring briefly to coat them in the remaining oil and pan drippings.
Return the roast:
  1. Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.
Mix the seasoning packets:
  1. In a small bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, Italian dressing mix, brown gravy mix, and water or beef broth. Stir until well blended.
Pour over roast:
  1. Pour the mixture evenly over the meat and vegetables.
Bake the pot roast:
  1. Cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 3–4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Serve:
  1. Remove from the oven and let the roast rest for a few minutes. Slice or shred the meat and serve hot with the vegetables, spooning the rich gravy over top.
  2. Enjoy!
