Crock pot beef roast

I don’t know if it can get more simple. Season it, add veggies if you want, hit the on button. Turn it off when the meat falls apart… it will even make its own stock with a little water, you don’t even need beef stock

**Something you can try one day**

After reading about it on this board I tried the Mississippi pot roast. You can add or subtract whatever you want, but the concept is simple.
Brown a nice roast, slice an onion.
Put onion on bottom and put the roast on top.
Packet of brown gravy mix, packet of ranch dressing mix sprinkled on top.
You don’t need to add any liquid.
Most recipes call for a stick of butter, but I find that to be overkill.
Cook on low for 8 hrs. It will be fall apart and have plenty of juice. You can take off the juice and thicken with a roux or slurry for gravy.
I always turned up my nose at this method until I tried it. Now I won’t go back. Works well with a pork roast or shoulder, too.

I usually slice an onion and add a couple cans of mushrooms on the bottom, then season with dry ranch dressing, garlic, salt, pepper, and sometimes a bit of crushed red pepper. No liquid necessary. At the end, pull the meat out and add a little corn starch to thicken.

I do the same thing with chicken breasts and it’s great, too

A hearty rich Stout beer makes for a good liquid in a crock pot roast instead of broth or water also.

I love how Rednecks just shout ingredients from the sky. “Powdered Ranch”, got damn must sound like Prime Rib, just cheaper. Yeehaw!

Nah I love a good Mississippi roast my man. Was just responding to that single Hail Mary response in line with my comment. All my favorite cooks have used a short cut here or there, but my Dad may beat you if you accused him of it.

I like to season it and brown it first in my black iron skillet to get a good crust on it; then deglaze the skillet and pour those juices in the crock pot.

I substitute lipton onion soup mix instead of the ranch packet. Delish.
