Time 5h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 -3 lbs eye of round roast
1 ounce herb brown gravy mix
1/2 cup water
6 red potatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 fresh carrots or 15 fresh baby carrots

Steps:

Rinse roast under cool water.
Add roast to crock pot.
Sprinkle brown gravy mix on and around roast.
Add 1/2 cup water around roast.
Add quartered potatoes around roast.
Sprinkle ranch mix over roast and potatoes.
Season potatoes with salt.
Set crock pot on high for 3 hours.
Cut carrots same size as quartered potatoes or if using baby carrots, use whole. Add carrots and additional 1/2 cup water if you like a thinner gravy or au jus.
Change setting to low for 2 more hours.
Slice roast on serving platter, surround with veggies.
Serve gravy or au jus on the side.
*Any cut of roast would probably work, but this is a good, lean cut that doesn't require trimming and also slices nicely. A larger roast may also be used.
*Cooking: You can also add the carrots after step 7 and cook on low for 6-8 hours total. The carrots will just be a little softer than the other method.
