Crockpot Roast

I saw a pin on Pinterest for this roast.  When I went to click on it, the link was broken.  The ingredients were listed in the picture, so I went ahead and made it.  Let me tell you, my husband said it was GOOD!!  For those of you who may know my husband, this is huge.  The hubbs doesn't get excited about food the way that I do.  When I make something it is usually "fine."  After receiving a "fine" we usually categorize the food by "should I make it again" or "lose the recipe."  The hubbs very much appreciates the meal, he just doesn't take a bite and then say"OMG this is good!!"  Any hoo, down to the meal.  I added mashed potatoes and corn as sides because I know my boys will eat them.  You could also add some red potatoes and carrots.

The ingredients:
Any kind of roast.  I usually go for something not too fatty and not too big since my boys don't eat a lot and I usually just want enough leftovers for the hubbs to take some to work the next day. You will also need...
Mix all three packets into 1/2 cup of water...
Pour over roast in crockpot and cook on low for 8-10hrs.
Man, the house smelled good.  Add your sides and you are good to go.  Sometimes you just need some good old meat and potatoes! Ladle some au jus (the juice left over from the cooking) over the top of the meat after you plate.  Yummmm! 
 
 
It was a little tangy for the boys.  I think next time I might try the regular Italian dressing instead of the zesty Italian dressing. 
 
I hope you enjoy!!
