Roast Beef and Veggies

So I have to say this is one of my favorite Sunday recipes. Of course my mom makes the best roast beef dinner, but she makes it with gravy and mashed potatoes which I love but haven't mastered. Scott grew up having roast beef, potatoes and vegetables all cooked together. Since this is easier and almost as yummy, this is how I make it. Plus it takes half the time over making mashed potatoes and gravy. So I found this recipe on Pinterest and have seen it on many other cooking blogs and I love it. It has so much flavor and is so easy.

Roast Beef and Veggies
3-5 lb. roast
1 envelope dry ranch dressing mix
1 envelope dry Italian dressing mix
1 envelope brown gravy mix
Red potatoes (about 8 quartered)
Baby carrots (1 lb.)
Onion- sliced (optional, I use a sweet onion)
1-1 1/2 cup water

Put half of the veggies in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place roast on top of veggies. Place remaining veggies around the roast. Sprinkle ranch, Italian and gravy mix over the roast and veggies.  Pour water over mixture. Cook on low for about 8 hours. The longer you cook it the more tender the roast will be.

 

 I usually make up some jello, peas and rolls to go with it. Super easy with little preparation. My kind of Sunday dinner. Beef serves 8. Meat= 5 WW SP.
