Ingredients
- 1 Pot Roast Chuck Roast Brisket or Round Roast
- 1 packet of Brown Gravy mix dry
- 1 packet of Au Jus mix dry
- red potatoes
- carrots
- sweet onions
- water
Instructions
- Place roast in your slow cooker (or roaster) and add potatoes, carrots and sweet onions around the roast.
- Sprinkle both packets of mix over the top of the roast and then add water until it is half way up the side of the roast.
- In a slow cooker: cook low and slow for 8+ hours.
- In a roaster: cook for 6 hours at 275 degrees with the lid on.
TO MAKE THE GRAVY:
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a pan.
- Add 1/4 cup flour (or cornstarch for GF) and whisk together to make a roux.
- Add the liquid from the crockpot and whisk to combine until thickened.
- If it ends up a little thicker than you would like, add some water or beef stock to thin it out a bit.
