Total Time: 5 hrs 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 5 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 2 -3 lbs eye of round roast
• 1 ounce herb brown gravy mix
• 1/2 cup water
• 6 red potatoes, quartered
• 2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 4 fresh carrots or 15 fresh baby carrots

Recipe

• 1 rinse roast under cool water.
• 2 add roast to crock pot.
• 3 sprinkle brown gravy mix on and around roast.
• 4 add 1/2 cup water around roast.
• 5 add quartered potatoes around roast.
• 6 sprinkle ranch mix over roast and potatoes.
• 7 season potatoes with salt.
• 8 set crock pot on high for 3 hours.
• 9 cut carrots same size as quartered potatoes or if using baby carrots, use whole. add carrots and additional 1/2 cup water if you like a thinner gravy or au jus.
• 10 change setting to low for 2 more hours.
• 11 slice roast on serving platter, surround with veggies.
• 12 serve gravy or au jus on the side.
• 13 *any cut of roast would probably work, but this is a good, lean cut that doesn't require trimming and also slices nicely. a larger roast may also be used.
• 14 *cooking: you can also add the carrots after step 7 and cook on low for 6-8 hours total. the carrots will just be a little softer than the other method.
