Good food doesn’t always mean exotic, expensive ingredients or complicated directions:

Three Envelope Roast

Ingredients:

3 pound beef roast (It simmers all day, so you don’t need a pricey cut)

1 envelope Good Seasons Zesty Italian salad dressing mix

1 envelope of Hidden Valley ranch salad dressing mix

1 envelope of McCormick brown gravy mix

1 to 2 tablespoons oil

2 cups water

Heat oil in heavy pan or skillet to medium high heat. Sear roast in oil for a few minutes on each side until it’s browned on all sides. Pour 2 cups cool tap water into a quart-size bowl or pitcher. Open all three envelopes and pour contents into water. Stir with a fork until completely blended. Pour mixture into slow cooker. Place roast into cooker and turn to coat. Cover and cook on low for eight hours. If you like veggies with your roast, you can add carrots, celery, potatoes, onions, etc. along with the meat.
