Ingredients

  • 1 3-4 pound roast (beef or pork) such as chuck roast ***SEE NOTE BELOW
  • 4 tbsp Butter (NO SUBSTITUTES)
  • 1 envelope dry brown gravy mix
  • 1 envelope dry Italian dressing mix
  • 1 envelope dry ranch dressing mix
  • 1 Onion, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 cup Water for Pressure Cooker and 2 for Crock Pot
  • 1 can Beef Broth (small...10 oz?) for Beef Roast or 1 large Cream of Mushroom Soup for Pork Roast
  • 5 potatoes, cubed (optional)
  • 1 Baby Carrots (sm bag) (optional)

Method

  • Please note in a SLOW COOKER you CAN cut in half the dry ingredients if you find it overpowering.)
  • In the pressure cooker use the entire envelopes.
  • I prefer the whole envelopes in either method of cooking Crock Pot or Pressure Cooker but that's just me).
  • Put the water in a measuring cup that is larger then the amount of water you are using (to fit the additions).
  • Now add and mix all three envelopes of dry salad dressings to the water.
  • Brown the roast (if desired) I love mine browned in butter (not margerine) in an 8 qt PC.
  • Once meat is browned on all sides, add onions (carrots if desired), pour the water, salad dressing mixture over the roast as well as the broth and the pepper.
  • Now cook as usual.
  • In the CE Pressure Cooker, I cooked it for 70 minutes and use the quick release method.
  • I can and probably should use the natural but I am always in a hurry when making this as it smells so good!
  • In the slow cooker cook it on high for about 4 hours on low about 8 hours.
  • You can use the liquid for gravy or broth!
  • NOTE: NOTICE I SAID "ROAST".
  • This can be used for beef roast or pork roast.
  • If doing pork roast, omit the 1 can beef broth and sub with a LG can of cream of mushroom.
  • If making beef roast, omit the cream of mushroom and use the beef broth.
