For extra flavor, sear the roast in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as potatoes or celery.
If the gravy is too thin at the end of cooking, you can thicken it by mixing a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stirring it into the gravy during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

    I didn't have ranch dressing mix, so I substituted a packet of onion soup mix. It was still really good!

  • Jean Huels

    Next time, I think I'll add some potatoes to the slow cooker along with the carrots. That would make it a complete meal.

  • Susie Brown

    I added a bay leaf and a few sprigs of fresh thyme to the slow cooker for extra flavor. It turned out amazing!

  • Alexzander Wilkinson

    The ranch dressing mix is the secret ingredient! It adds a tangy, savory flavor that you won't find in other pot roast recipes.

  • Maureen Mueller

    I seared the roast before putting it in the slow cooker, as suggested in the comments, and it made a huge difference! Highly recommend.

  • Amira Sipes
