Step 1: Prepare the Roast
Lightly season the chuck roast with salt and pepper. Place it in your slow cooker or crockpot.
Step 2: Mix the Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the Italian dressing mix, Ranch mix, and brown gravy mix. Add 1 cup of water and stir until completely blended.
Step 3: Assemble
Pour the seasoning mixture evenly over the roast. If using vegetables, arrange the potatoes, carrots, and onions around the meat.
Step 4: Slow Cook
Cover and cook on high for about 4 hours, or until the roast is tender and easy to shred. Occasionally spoon the sauce over the top to keep it moist and flavorful.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once the meat is fork-tender and the vegetables are fully cooked, serve warm with plenty of that delicious gravy spooned on top.
