The Easiest Pot Roast With A Twist!
Do you ever need a quick, easy and delicious dinner option?
Yeah, neither do I (insert sarcasm). This has been a hit at our place because it is no fail and my husband can eat it over mashed potatoes and I can eat it over mashed cauliflower. Win win!
Just 5 ingredients in the pot and you are good to go!
Just a few secrets to make it perfect every time…
Although this is an extremely simple recipe, there are a few things that elevate it. First, I always spray my crockpot with nonstick cooking spray as I hate to clean. Second, spread half the packets of seasonings on the bottom of the crockpot, lay your roast on top of that and then sprinkle the rest on top the roast. No mess and even distribution equals perfection! Lastly, it must cook 8 hours on low. 4 hours on high just does not give you the melt in your mouth results that you deserve. Let’s cook this!
Pot Roast with a Zingy Twist
This recipe is almost embarrassingly simple, but it honestly is to die for. The zing of the peppers and richness of the sauce makes it absolutely the perfect dinner for busy folks who like flavorful dishes.
Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix use Fiesta Ranch if you like spicy
- 1 packet McCormick Au Jus Gravy Mix

- 1 16oz jar Pickled Pepperocini Peppers Do NOT drain
Instructions
- Spray the crockpot with non stick cooking spray
- Sprinkle half the packet of ranch mix and half the packet of Au Jus mix in the bottom of the crockpot. Lay the roast on top.
- Sprinkle the rest of the mixes on top of the roast. Place the butter in the center of the roast. Poor the juice from the peppers around the sides of the roast as to not remove the seasonings. Place the peppers along the perimeter of the roast.
