Ingredients

8 servings
  1. 13-4 pound roast (beef or pork) such as chuck roast ***SEE NOTE BELOW
  2. 4 tbspButter (NO SUBSTITUTES)
  3. 1 envelopedry brown gravy mix
  4. 1 envelopedry Italian dressing mix
  5. 1 envelopedry ranch dressing mix
  6. 1Onion, chopped
  7. 1/2 tspground black pepper
  8. 1 cupWater for Pressure Cooker and 2 for Crock Pot
  9. 1 canBeef Broth (small...10 oz?) for Beef Roast or 1 large Cream of Mushroom Soup for Pork Roast
  10. 5potatoes, cubed (optional)
  11. 1Baby Carrots (sm bag) (optional)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Brown the roast (if desired) I love mine browned in butter (not margerine) in an 8 qt PC.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    You can use the liquid for gravy or broth!

  6. 6

    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.

I am a mother, a wife & an Accountant. My hobbies include television, cooking and baking as I am an old school believer that good food brings families closer together after a hectic week's worth of varying schedules. I am considered a "Master Cook" and not a chef because I haven't gone to culinary school. I always try new recipes every Saturday and love to make things from scratch. It brings a smile to everyone's face and you can taste the love and care that went into preparing every dish I make :)
