Step 1: Prepare the Roast
Season the chuck roast well with salt and pepper, then place it into your slow cooker or crockpot.
Step 2: Mix the Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the Italian dressing mix, Ranch seasoning, and brown gravy mix. Add 1 cup of water and whisk until everything is fully blended and smooth.
Step 3: Add to the Slow Cooker
Pour the sauce evenly over the roast. If you’re using potatoes, carrots, or onions, tuck them around the meat inside the crockpot.
Step 4: Cook
Set the slow cooker to high and cook for about 4 hours. Occasionally spoon the sauce over the roast as it cooks to help intensify the flavor.
Step 5: Serve
Once the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft, your meal is ready to enjoy. Serve warm and savor the rich, savory goodness!
