Preparation

Step 1

Place the chuck roasts in a 5-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the salad dressing and gravy mixes; stir in water. Pour over meat. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until tender. If desired, thicken cooking juices for gravy. Yield: 12-15 servings.


Good gravy. It's easy to prepare homemade gravy for the Flavorful Pot Roast. Remove the meat to a warm platter, then strain and skim the fat from the cooking juices. Measure the juices and place ina saucepan. Combine 3 tablespoons flour and 1/3 cup cold water for each cup of juices, then add to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, until the gravy is thickened.
