In The Crockpot: Not Your Average Pot Roast


Inspired by a Pinterest posting and combined with my own more classic pot roast recipe... This not your average pot roast has a deep rich full flavor and yet just enough zest to it to balance it out and keep your taste buds interested bite after bite. 

What you need:
A Beef Roast, choose the size and type right for your family- or whatever's on sale is how I choose mine
1/2 yellow onion sliced
1 packet Au Jus Gravy Mix
1/2 packet Ranch Dressing Mix
Approx 7 Pepperoncinis 
1 stick of Butter
Garlic Salt and pepper 

Layer your ingredients into the crockpot starting with your onion on the bottom, beef, season with garlic salt and pepper, sprinkle with Au Jus Mix, Ranch Mix, and top with Pepperoncinis and finally the stick of butter. Do not add any water. If you want to add baby red potatoes around your meat they turn out wonderful too!  Turn your crockpot on low for 6 hours and dinner is ready! 

Easy and delicious!

  1. You’re not adding water, it’s cooking in its own juices and the butter keeps it moist and flavorful. You’re basically creating a gravy.

  5. This roast is fabulous! I have made it numerous times with mashed potatoes. In fact, I plan on serving it this week for my card club friends. I hope they like it as much as my family does.
