Ingredients

  • 3 pound or so roast (beef or pork) such as chuck roast
  • 1 envelope of dry Italian salad dressing mix
  • 1 envelope of dry ranch salad dressing mix
  • 1 envelope of dry brown gravy mix
  • Water - for a pressure cooker 1 cup water

Preparation

(Please note in a SLOW COOKER you CAN cut in half the dry ingredients if you find it overpowering.)

In the pressure cooker use the whole envelopes. I prefer the whole envelopes in either method of cooking.

Put the water in a measuring cup that is larger then the amount of water you are using. Now add and mix all three envelopes of dry salad dressings to the water. Mix until blended completely.

Brown the roast (if desired) I love mine browned in the CE 8 qt PC)

Add the meat to your cooker

Pour the water, salad dressing mixture over the roast

Now cook as usual. In the CE Pressure Cooker, I cooked it for 70 minutes and used quick release method can and probably should use natural but I am always in a hurry when making this as it smells so good! In the slow cooker cook it on high for about 4 hours on low about 8 hours.

You can use the liquid for gravy or broth!

This recipe did not disappoint...it was easy and tasted wonderful! We used a 3 3/4 lb. beef chuck roast and cooked it in our pressure cooker at 15 pounds pressure, with regulator rocking slowly, for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, then let the pressure drop of its own accord. The roast turned out moist, fall apart tender, and flavorful. Only change I made was to add about 1 cup each of rough chopped crimini mushrooms and onions. We served this with oven-roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes smothered with the rich gravy.

I put this roast in my crock-pot before church, what a great smell met us at the door comming home. The flavor was fantastic and the rich gravy went well with the mashed potatoes. It is on my list to make often.

This roast was great! The flavor was wonderful and the gravy was super yummy. I browned the meat and cooked the roast in the crock pot (using the full packet of each). At the end I thickened the gravy with flour and left it in the crock pot for another 1/2 hour.

I doubled the amount of water on this, added carrots and cooked it in the crockpot for eight hours. I added frozen peas the last hour. YUM! My guys ate this up! I used the left-over gravy on mashed potatoes the next night.
