What wonderful aroma will greet you at your front door from a long day of last minute Christmas shopping or work when you put this in the crock pot before you leave in the morning!!
(serves 6)
2-3 lb. boneless beef chuck roast
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 med. sweet* onion, sliced
5 organic* carrots, cut into 2" pieces
3 celery stalks, cut into 2" pieces
6-8 baby red potatoes*
1-2garlic cloves*, minced
1 1 oz. package of beef gravy mix
1 1 oz. packet of ranch dressing mix
1 1 oz. packet of Italian dressing mix
1/2 cup water
Kosher* salt and freshly* ground pepper to taste
3 thyme sprigs*
Pat the roast dry using paper towels. Season on all sides with S&P
Roll the roast on a bed of flour, making sure all sides are well-coated. Place the roast on top of a bid of onion, in a 6 qt. slow cooker. Whisk together seasoning packets in water until blended. Then pour mixture around the roast. Add veggies and garlic. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Note: Use the dripping to make a gravy. Remove the veggies and pour the liquid from the roast into a saucepan over med. heat. In a small bowl, whisk 2 T. of cornstarch with 1/4 cup warm water until it is smooth. pour the cornstarch in the saucepan, whisking constantly until the gravy has thickened.
