      Title: 3-Envelope Crockpot Roast (Without The Envelopes)
 Categories: Five, Beef, Herbs
      Yield: 8 Servings

      3 lb Chuck roast; trimmed
      3 tb Ranch dressing mix (below)
      2 tb Gravy mix (below)
      2 tb Italian dressing mix (below)
      2 c  Water

MMMMM---------------------RANCH DRESSING MIX--------------------------
    1/3 c  Dry buttermilk powder
      3 tb Parsley flakes
  2 1/2 ts Garlic powder
  2 1/2 ts Onion powder
      2 ts Dried minced onion
      2 ts Dried dill weed
  1 1/2 ts Kosher salt -OR-
      1 ts Salt
      1 ts Black pepper

MMMMM-------------------------GRAVY MIX------------------------------
      3 tb Beef bouillon granules
      1 ts Onion powder
      1 ts Garlic powder
    1/2 ts Thyme
    1/2 ts Pepper
    1/2 c  Flour

MMMMM--------------------ITALIAN DRESSING MIX-------------------------
      1 tb Garlic powder
      1 tb Onion powder
      1 tb Sugar
      2 tb Oregano
    1/4 ts Thyme
      1 ts Basil
      1 tb Dried parsley
      2 tb Salt

  In a pan, heat 2 ts of oil over medium-high heat. Brown the roast
  on each side for 5 minutes. This step is not mandatory but it does
  make the roast taste better!

  Add the browned roast to the slow cooker.

  In a bowl whisk the water together with the 3 mixes. Pour the
  mixture over the roast.

  Cover and cook on low for 8 to 12 hours (depending on your slow
  cooker). You'll know the roast is done if you can shred it easily.

  Ranch Dressing Mix:

  Run all the ingredients through a blender or food processor. Pulse
  about 10 times until all the granules are the same consistency.
  Store in an airtight container. To make ranch dressing whisk
  together 3 tb of ranch mix, 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup milk until
  smooth. Refrigerate for half hour before serving.

  Gravy Mix:

  Run all the ingredients through a blender or food processor. Pulse
  about 10 times until all the granules are the same consistency.
  Store in an airtight container. To make gravy, mix 1/4 cup of mix
  with 2 cups of milk or water in a saucepan. Whisk over medium heat
  until smooth and it thickens.

  Italian Dressing Mix:

  Run all the ingredients through a blender or food processor. Pulse
  about 10 times until all the granules are the same consistency.
  Store in an airtight container. To make Italian dressing mix
  together 1/4 cup cinder vinegar, 2/3 cup olive oil, 2 tb water, and
  2 tb mix. Store in the refrigerator.

  UDD Notes: This works perfectly in my 6 qt casserole crockpot. I
  have now made up the "dry-mix" stuff above but for the first go I
  used up some Ranch Dressing Mix and Knorr Brown Gravy mix I had on
  hand. And used 2 cups of creamy Italian Dressing from a bottle in
  my ice box in place of the water.

  This is a *VERY* forgiving/flexible recipe.
