“Oh My, This Was So Delicious!” – The 3-Packet Slow Cooker Pot Roast That’s Winning Dinnertime

If you’ve been on the hunt for a no-fuss, flavor-packed dinner that practically cooks itself, look no further. The 3-Packet Slow Cooker Pot Roast is exactly what it promises to be: easy, comforting, and absolutely mouthwatering.

In the words of one happy home cook:
“Oh my, this was so delicious! My family and I enjoyed this so much and will be making it for many more dinners to come.”

What Is the 3-Packet Pot Roast?

This beloved slow cooker recipe gets its name from the three seasoning packets that do all the heavy lifting when it comes to flavor:

• Ranch Dressing Mix

• Brown Gravy Mix

• Italian Dressing Mix

Combined with a well-marbled chuck roast and a splash of water or beef broth, these packets create a rich, savory gravy that’s full of depth with zero guesswork.

Why It Works

What makes this pot roast so special is how it transforms minimal ingredients into something that tastes like it’s been slow-simmered in grandma’s kitchen for hours (which, technically, it has—thank you, slow cooker!).

Here’s why we keep coming back to it:

• Set it and forget it – Perfect for busy days when you want dinner waiting for you.

• Unbeatable flavor – The packet trio creates a roast that’s tender, juicy, and boldly seasoned.

• Family-friendly – Adults love the rich gravy, and even the pickiest kids can’t resist it.

• Versatile – Serve it over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice—whatever your family loves!

How to Make 3-Packet Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Place the roast in the bottom of your slow cooker.

2. Sprinkle all three seasoning packets over the top.

5. Shred, serve, and spoon that delicious gravy over everything!
