Cooking Directions for Single Meal

  1. Place the beef roast and baby potatoes into the base of the slow cooker and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the 3 packets of dry mix and the water. Pour directly onto the beef roast. If your slow cooker “runs hot” and dries out meat, pour an additional 1/2 cup of water into the base of the slow cooker.
  3. Set the slow cooker on low and cook for 8 hours. Once finished cooking, slice or shred the beef with 2 forks and mix into the sauce.
  4. Prepare salad.
  5. Serve Slow Cooker 3-Packet Pot Roast with baby potatoes and side salad.
