Easy Crockpot Pot Roast with Gravy

 

This was the very best pot roast I've EVER made! Cooking is NOT my talent but somehow this one made me feel like a professional chef!

 

Before!

 

Ingredients

 

1 beef pot roast

1 dry packet onion soup mix

1 dry packet brown gravy mix

1 1/2 cups water

pepper to taste

 

Directions

1. Heat a frying pan on HIGH with some vegetable oil in it. Place the roast in and sear all sides only until brown.

2. Remove roast and place in crock pot.

3. Mix both packets of soup and gravy in water with a whisk. Pour over roast. Sprinkle some pepper on top.

4. Cook on low 4-6 hours or high 3-4 hours. After it's done, remove meat from crockpot and let it sit while you make gravy.

5. Add some flour (I used wheat)  to some water (about 1/2 cup) and mix well (I use a shaker). Put the drippings from the crockpot into a small pan if your crockpot cannot be put directly on the stove.

6. Slowly add some flour water to the drippings and heat to boiling while stirring constantly. I use an emulsifier blender. It will thicken. You may NOT need to use all the water flour or you may need more. Depends on the size of your roast and how much drippings you have. Taste before adding salt and/or pepper. Mine was pretty salty on it's own so taste first!

7. Serve with mashed potatoes and a veggie.

The picture below is my husbands plate. He came home from work late and all that was left was the end of the roast so I put the whole thing on his plate and drowned it in gravy! It really was one of the best meals I ever made!

After!
