WW Recipe of the Day: 3-Packet Slow Cooker Ranch Roast Beef
This recipe for Slow Cooker 3-Packet Roast Beef is from Mom. It's super simple to make and turns out nice and tasty.
Mom made it a while back, sharing a generous amount of it with us.
Is there any better gift than homemade food from Mom?
Mom's 3 Packet Slow Cooker Roast Beef
To be honest, with 3 packets of seasoning mix I was concerned that it would be way too salty.
It wasn't.
The onion slices create lots of liquid diluting the seasonings.
Slow Cooker Ranch Roast Beef Recipe Notes
You'll want to use a lean cut of beef for this 3 Packet Slow Cooker Roast.
Mom used a rump roast. Top or bottom round would work well too.
To make a complete meal in a pot, add additional veggies (potatoes, carrots, parsnips, etc.)
Or serve over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes with salad and vegetables on the side.
To keep your meal low carb, serve over zoodles or riced cauliflower.
For thicker gravy, remove the meat and then turn the crock pot to HIGH. Dissolve 1 tablespoon cornstarch in 2-3 tablespoons water, stirring until smooth. Then whisk the mixture into the liquid in the crock pot. Cover and let it bubble until thickened, about 20 to 15 minutes.
You can use the leftovers to make sandwiches, quesadillas, pot pie, soup, stew...
