Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine Italian seasoning, Ranch seasoning, and gravy mix. Blend.
Prick the entire roast with a fork. Rub the dried mix on roast.
In a slow cooker, spread potatoes on bottom. Place seasoned chuck roast on potatoes. Pour water around roast.
Cover and cook on high for 6 hours or 8 hours on low. Roast should have an internal temperature of 145ºF.
Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve.
Tip: For a thicker sauce, remove roast and potatoes and transfer to a platter. Pour the cooking juices into a sauce pan. Stir together 3 tablespoon cornstarch and 3 tablespoon cold water. Bring sauce to a boil and whisk cornstarch mixture into boiling sauce. Spoon sauce over meat and potatoes.
Add ½ pound baby carrots and 1 sliced onion and place at the bottom of the crockpot along with the potatoes for a heartier meal.
