When I was a kid, Mom knew that my most favorite thing in the world that she made was her roast beef and gravy recipe. It’s the most tender beef I have ever tasted. When you take a bite of the beef, it’s so soft and succulent at the same time.
The beef surely melted in my mouth, and along with the savory gravy, that’s like beging sent to food heaven.
Mom also made the best mashed potatoes to go with the roast beef and gravy, and that has always blew me away. my friends have their own version of roast beef and gravy, but for me, nothing could be compared to my mom’s recipe.
Ingredients:
3 lb roast (beef or pork) such as chuck roast
1 pkg dry Italian salad dressing mix
1 pkg dry ranch salad dressing mix
1 pkg dry brown gravy mix
1 c water
Directions:
If desired brown roast in pan, if not place in crock pot.
In a bowl mix water with 3 envelopes of mixes until well blended, pour over roast in crock pot. (If the mixes are too overwhelming use 1/2 of all packages) cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
