When I made this, I browned my roast first. I added a little more water and put onions, potatoes and carrots. It turned out great!

Yes it is low carb and Atkins friendly. The info below is not correct about the gravy packets. My brown gravy packet is 12 grams per package which is 1 gram per serving. The Ranch is 16 grams per package which is 1.25 grams per serving, and the Italian dressing is 8 grams per package which is about .75 grams per serving. Therefore it's about 2 grams of carbohydrates per serving.

The nutritional database says that a package of brown gravy mix will provide 23g carbs for each of the 12 servings this recipe yields. The salad dressing mixes are likely to provide substantial additional carbs. Please, how is this recipe either Atkins friendly or low carb?
