3-Packet Pot Roast 🥩🥔🥕

Tender, Juicy, and Packed With Flavor

If you love an easy dinner that practically cooks itself, this 3-Packet Pot Roast is one to keep in your recipe box.

A tender beef roast is combined with three simple seasoning packets—zesty Italian dressing mix, ranch seasoning, and brown gravy mix—then slow-cooked until the meat is so tender it practically falls apart with a fork. (The Recipe Critic)

The result is a rich, savory roast with plenty of flavorful gravy, perfect for serving with potatoes and carrots.

🛒 Ingredients

For the Roast

• 3–4 pounds boneless chuck roast or rump roast
• 1 packet zesty Italian dressing mix
• 1 packet ranch dressing seasoning mix
• 1 packet brown gravy mix
• 1 cup low-sodium beef broth or water
• 1 large onion, cut into chunks
• 1 pound baby carrots
• 1½–2 pounds baby potatoes, halved if large
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, optional for browning

The three seasoning packets are the heart of this recipe, and similar versions commonly use a 3–4-pound roast with about 1 cup of broth or water. (The Recipe Critic)

👩‍🍳 How to Make 3-Packet Pot Roast

1. Brown the Roast — Optional

For extra flavor, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Season the roast lightly with black pepper and sear it for a few minutes on each side until nicely browned.

This step isn’t required—the recipe works as a simple dump-and-go meal—but browning can add another layer of flavor. (Spicy Southern Kitchen)

2. Add the Vegetables

Place the potatoes, carrots, and onion in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.

Set the roast on top.
