Classic Three-Envelope Roast Recipe

Easy Slow-Cooker Three-Mix Roast

This slow-cooker roast is a weeknight lifesaver—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, all thanks to a combination of Italian, Ranch, and brown gravy mixes. Minimal prep, maximum taste.

Ingredients

• Chuck roast – 3 lbs
• Dry Italian seasoning mix – 1 packet
• Dry Ranch seasoning mix – 1 packet
• Dry brown gravy mix – 1 packet
• Water – 1 cup
• Salt & black pepper – to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Meat
Season the chuck roast generously with salt and black pepper. Place it in the slow cooker.

2. Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the Italian, Ranch, and brown gravy mixes with 1 cup of water until smooth.

3. Add to Slow Cooker
Pour the seasoning mixture over the roast. Optional: surround the meat with baby potatoes, carrots, or onions for a complete meal.

4. Cook Low and Slow
Cover and cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 8 hours, until the roast is fork-tender.

5. Baste and Finish
Occasionally spoon the juices over the roast. Once done, shred or slice the meat as desired.

6. Serve and Enjoy
Make sure any vegetables added are fully cooked. Plate with plenty of the rich “three-mix” gravy for a hearty, comforting meal.
